Answer:
d. the press (the news media).
Explanation:
The only business protected by the First Amendment is the press (the news media). The other aspects protected by the First Amendments are human rights and not a business. The press is protected because they serve as countrywide investigators to uncover the truth and inform the people, this also includes the truth of any government actions, scandals, or secrets being held from the public eye. This is because in a democracy the government is accountable for the people and not the other way around.
You are purchasing a 30-year, zero coupon bond. The yield to maturity is 9.1 percent and the face value is $1,000. What is the current market price (assume annual coupons)?
Answer:
Zero-cupon bond= $73.33
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of years (n)= 30
Face value= $1,000
YTM= 9.1%
To calculate the bond price, we need to use the following formula:
Zero-cupon bond= [face value/(1+i)^n]
Zero-cupon bond= [1,000 / (1.091^30)
Zero-cupon bond= $73.33
Suppose the demand function for good X is given by: Q_dx = 15-0 5P_x - 0.8 P y where Q_dx is the quantity demanded of good X, P_x is the price of good X, and P_y is the price of good Y, which is related to good X. a. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good Y is $10 and the price of good X decreases from $5 to $3, what is the price elasticity of demand for good X? Is the demand elastic, unitary elastic, or inelastic? b. Good X and Good Y are related as c. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good X is $10 and the price of good increases from $8 to $10, the cross price elasticity of demand is about
Answer:
a. Price elasticity of demand for good X is -0.80; and the demand is inelastic.
b. Good X and Good Y are related as complements.
c. The cross price elasticity of demand is about -2.57%.
Explanation:
Note: There is an error in the demand function for good X. This is therefore corrected by restating the function as follows:
Q_dx = 15 - 0.5P_x - 0.8 P_y …………………………… (1)
a. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good Y is $10 and the price of good X decreases from $5 to $3, what is the price elasticity of demand for good X? Is the demand elastic, unitary elastic, or inelastic?
From the question and equation (1), we have:
Old price of good X = Old P_x = $5
New price of good X = New P_x = $3
New quantity demanded of good X = New Q_dx = 15 - (0.5 * 3) - (0.8 * 10) = 5.50
Old quantity demanded of good X = New Q_dx = 15 - (0.5 * 5) - (0.8 * 10) = 4.50
Ordinarily, the formula for calculating the price elasticity of demand is as follows:
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / Percentage change in price of good X ................ (1)
Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:
Percentage change in quantity demanded of good X = {(New quantity demanded of good X - Old
quantity demanded of good X) / [(New quantity demanded of good X + Old quantity demanded of good X) / 2]} * 100 = {(5.50 - 4.50) / [(5.50 + 4.50) / 2]} * 100 = 20%
Percentage change in price = {(New price of good X - Old price of good X) / [(New price of good X + Old Price of good X) / 2]} * 100 = {(3 - 5) / [(3 + 5) / 2]} * 100 = -25%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Price elasticity of demand for good X = 20% / -25% = -0.80
Therefore, the price elasticity of demand (based on the midpoint formula) when price decreases from $5 to $3 is -0.80.
Since the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for good X i.e. |-0.80| is less than one, the demand is inelastic.
b. Good X and Good Y are related as
From equation (1) above, the coefficient P_Y is -0.80 which shows that it has a negative sign.
The negative sign indicates Good X and Good Y are related as complements. This implies that as price of Good Y falls, the quantity demand of Good X increases.
c. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good X is $10 and the price of good Y increases from $8 to $10, the cross price elasticity of demand is about
From the question and equation (1), we have:
Old price of good Y = Old P_y = $8
New price of good Y = New P_y = $10
New quantity demanded of good X = New Q_dx = 15 - (0.5 * 10) - (0.8 * 10) = 2
Old quantity demanded of good X = New Q_dx = 15 - (0.5 * 10) - (0.8 * 8) = 3.60
Ordinarily, the formula for calculating the cross price elasticity of demand is as follows:
Cross price elasticity of demand of goods X and Y = Percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / Percentage change in price of good Y ................ (2)
Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:
Percentage change in quantity demanded of good X = {(New quantity demanded of good X - Old
quantity demanded of good X) / [(New quantity demanded of good X + Old quantity demanded of good X) / 2]} * 100 = {(2 - 3.60) / [(2 + 3.60) / 2]} * 100 = -57.1428571428572
Percentage change in price of good Y = {(New price of good Y - Old price of good Y) / [(New price of good Y + Old Price of good Y) / 2]} * 100 = {(10 - 8) / [(10 + 8) / 2]} * 100 = 22.2222222222222
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Cross price elasticity of demand of good X and Y = -57.1428571428572 / 22.2222222222222 = -2.57142857142857
Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
Cross price elasticity of demand of good X and Y = -2.57
Therefore, the cross price elasticity of demand is about -2.57%.
Note: This confirms that the relationship between Good X and Good Y is complement because the cross-price elasticity between them is negative. That is, an increase in the price of Good Y makes consumer to buy less of Good X which is a complement.

The internal rate of return method is not subject to the limitations of the net present value method when comparing projects with different amounts invested because:_____.
A. The internal rate of return is expressed as a percent rather than the absolute dollar value of present value.
B. The internal rate of return is expressed as an absolute dollar value rather than the percent of net present value.
C. The internal rate of return reflects the time value of money rather than the absolute dollar value of present value.
D. The internal rate of return is expressed as an absolute dollar value rather than the time value of money used in net present value.
E. The internal rate of return is expressed as a percent rather than the accrual income method used in net present value.
Answer: A. The internal rate of return is expressed as a percent rather than the absolute dollar value of present value.
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is used in calculating the rate of return for the investment of a company. During the calculation, external factors like cost of capital, inflation, risk free rate are all excluded.
The internal rate of return method is not subject to the limitations of the net present value method when comparing projects with different amounts invested because it's expressed as a percent rather than the absolute dollar value of present value..
AJAX Inc. has subsidiaries in Vietnam, Bangladesh, and China. AJAX pays an annual insurance premium to OPIC (the Overseas Private Investment Corporation). AJAX is probably protecting itself from _____.
a. natural disasters overseas.
b. financial instability.
c. unfair competition.
d. nationalization.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: Financial instability.
Explanation:
To begin with, the "Overseas Private Investment Corporation" or OPIC was the name given to a financial institution of the United States Government who main purpose was to help solve problems according to financial matters of companies who were going abroad to establish work and capital. Therefore that this institution was created with the objective of impulsing the United States' foreign policies. That is why that if AJAX pays an annual insurance premium to OPIC is because its trying to protect itself from financial instability that could bring the fact of going overseas to work, which in case that happens the OPIC will help them to resolve that situation
On the variable costing income statement, the figure representing the difference between manufacturing margin and contribution margin is the: a.variable cost of goods sold b.fixed manufacturing costs c.variable selling and administrative expenses d.fixed selling and administrative expenses
Answer:
c. variable selling and administrative expenses
Explanation:
On the variable costing income statement, the figure representing the difference between manufacturing margin and contribution margin is the variable selling and administrative expenses. Variable cost is comprised of cost of goods sold and selling and administrative expense when we deduct cost of goods sold from sales we get manufacturing margin and when we deduct further selling and administrative expense we get contribution margin.

Revenues, Expenses, and Cost of Goods Sold are closed to which of the following accounts:_________
A) Income Summary
B) Retained Earnings
C) Other Income
D) Dividends
E) None of the Above
Answer: A) Income Summary
Explanation:
The Income Summary account is used to compile temporary accounts before posting them to capital accounts. Revenues, Expenses and Cost of Goods are temporary accounts which will be compiled in the Income summary account.
The Income summary account has a debit and a credit side with income going on the credit side and expenses going on the debit side. If the credit side is higher than the debit side then profits have been made. The reverse is true.
Alex withdrew $500,000 from an account that paid 5 percent annual interest and used the funds to purchase real estate. After one year he sold the property for $550,000. Alex's economic profit on this deal was:__________

Professional Properties is considering remodeling the office building it leases to Heartland Insurance. The remodeling costs are estimated at $3.4 million. If the building is remodeled, Heartland Insurance has agreed to pay an additional $820,000 a year in rent for the next 5 years. The discount rate is 15 percent. What is the benefit of the remodeling project to Professional Properties? A) -$651,233 B) -$489,072 C) $5,214 D) $128,399 E) $311,417
Answer:
A) -$651,233
Explanation:
The computation of the benefit generated of the remodelling project is shown below:
If we considered the discounted rate i.e. 15% for 5 years of $820,000 so its present value would be $2,748,767 ($820,000 × 3.3521)
And, the predicted cost is $3,400,000
So here the cost is there instead of the benefit of
= $2,748,767 - $3,400,000
= -$651,233
Hence, the correct option is A

Northwest Lumber had a profit margin of 5.25%, a total assets turnover of 1.5, and an equity multiplier of 1.8.
What was the firm's ROE?
a. 12.79%
b. 13.47%
c. 14.18%
d. 14.88%
e. 15.63%
Answer:
ROE = 0.14175 or 14.175%
Explanation:
The DuPont equation to calculate ROE or return on equity breaks the ROE into three components namely Net Income or Net Profit margin, Total assets turnover and equity multiplier. This is used to see what factor are affecting the Return on Equity generated by the business. ROE under DuPont can be calculated as follows,
ROE = NI Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier
ROE = 0.0525 * 1.5 * 1.8
ROE = 0.14175 or 14.175%

Explain which of the following items are money in the U.S. economy. Discuss your answers in terms of three functions of money. 1. US $100 2. Euro 3. Mona Lisa painting 4. American Express credit card
Answer:
$100
Mona Lisa painting
Explanation:
To start with, I will list the 3 primary functions of money, which are;
store of value,
unit of account, and
medium of exchange.
Going by the above, I would say that 2 of the 4 options presented before us are money, why so?
A $100 bill is definitely money, no much explanation is needed here, because it's used daily as a means of exchange between people
2. Euro is not a form of money in the US. While it is a form of money in many other places, it's not in the US because it doesn't satisfy the "medium of exchange" criteria of function of money. Euro can not be spent in a store or anywhere in the country, without it having been first exchanged into dollars
3. Mona Lisa painting, part of the functions of money is to store value, and I believe very much, a painting is a good store of money in that regard.
4. American Express credit card is not a form of money because unlike money
being used essentially, to pay for goods and services directly, a credit card is more or less, a store of wealth that is lent by the bank
If a portfolio of the two assets has an expected return of 7 percent, what is its beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.)
Answer:
the beta of the portfolio is 0.562
Explanation:
The computation of the beta is shown below:
As we know that
Expected return of portfolio = return of stock × weightage of stock + return of risk free asset × weightage of risk free asset
7% = 11% × weightage of stock + 2.4% × (1 - weightage of stock)
weightage of stock = 0.535
Now Beta of portfolio is
= 1.05 × 0.535
= 0.562
hence, the beta of the portfolio is 0.562

Based on the following information, calculate the cost of goods sold and ending inventory using FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average assuming a perpetual inventory system is in place.
Beginning Balance - 90 units at $11
March 3 - Purchase 300 units for $15
April 4 - Sell 240 units for $28
June 30 - Purchase 250 units for $18
August 16 - Sell 180 units for $30
Answer:
Cost of Sales :
FIFO = $ 6,030
LIFO = $6,840
Weighted Average = $6,354.60
Ending Inventory :
FIFO = $4,176
LIFO = $3,150
Weighted Average = $3,636.60
Explanation:
FIFO
This method assumes that the first inventory purchased will be the first to be sold
Cost of Goods Sold :
90 units × $11 = $990
150 units × $15 = $2,250
150 units × $15 = $2,250
30 units × $18 = $540
Total = $ 6,030
Ending Inventory :
232 units × $18 = $4,176
LIFO
This method assumes that the last inventory purchased, will be the last to be sold
Cost of Sales :
240 units × $15 = $3,600
180 units × $18 = $3,240
Total = $6,840
Ending Inventory :
90 units × $11 = $ 990
60 units × $15 = $ 900
70 units × $18 = $ 1,260
Total = $3,150
Weighted Average
A new average cost per unit is calculated with every purchase made.
New Average Cost = (90 units × $11 + 300 units × $15) ÷ 390 units
= $14.08
Cost of Sale , April 4 = 240 units × $14.08
= $3,379.20
New Average Cost = (150 units × $14.08 + 250 units × $18.00) ÷ 400 units
= $16.53
Cost of Sale, Aug 16 = 180 units × $16.53
= $2,975.40
Total Cost of Sales = $3,379.20 + $2,975.40
= $6,354.60
Ending Inventory = 220 units × $16.53
= $3,636.60

Which financial statement would include a listing of a companies assets
Answer:
Balance Sheet
Explanation:
In accounting, Balance sheet will show a complete listing of assets, liabilities and Equity of a company within a specific time period. (For most companies, the balance sheet will be made at each end of the year)
under the Assets segment, Balance sheet will specify several accounts arranged based on their liquidity. Cash usually put at the top of the list since it's considered as the most liquid assets.
People use balance sheet to give a general measurement on Company's financial health. If for example, they noticed that the liability is significantly larger than their assets, investors might feel discourage to invest in the company.
Which component of owners’ equity does the situation below indicate? Owners’ equity includes , ______ which is the amount of profits that your business has been able to save over the past few years.
Answer:
Retained earning
Explanation:
A company's profits are distributed to shareholders as dividends, retained in the business for reinvestment, or both. Therefore, retained earning are profits that were not distributed to shareholders. They are funds that belong to owners but withheld for use in the business.
Retained earnings form part of a company's capital. It is money that shareholders have contributed to the business by not sharing in profits.
Stormer Company reports the following amounts on its statement of cash flow: Net cash provided by operating activities was $37,500; net cash used in investing activities was $13,800 and net cash used in financing activities was $17,700. If the beginning cash balance is $6,900, what is the ending cash balance?
a) $75,900.
b) $62,100.
c) $40,500.
d) $6,000.
$12,900.
Answer:
e. $12,900
Explanation:
Given that:
Net Cash provided by operating activities = $37,500
Net Cash used in investing activities = $13,800
Net Cash used in financing activities = $17,700
Beginning cash balance = $6,900
Stormer company's ending balance would be;
= Beginning cash balance + Net cash provided by operating activities - Net cash used in financing activities - Net cash used in investing activities
= $6,900 + $37,500 - $17,700 - $13,800
= $12,900
How should wildlife species like grouse or deer be valued, and how should that value be balanced against the economic interests of a company like Questar? What, if anything, should Questar be doing differently?
Answer:
The description is summarized in the clarification section below, according to the particular circumstance.
Explanation:
Mostly with rising economic company's best interest including Questar, maintaining wildlife species including grouse as well as deer protected has become much more important. It is not only just the economic gain but also the ecological advantage that would not affect wildlife animals. Preserving the natural environment seems to be the most fundamental way of evaluating animal habitats. The same as deer, animal species should be covered in their habitat. It may also become extinct by upsetting them. The ecosystem is, thus, an important one that should have been taken note that to value certain native wildlife. But because service providers like Questar, who are rocky mountain oil producers, have quite a several financial advantages by exploration in that field, however, this contributes to mining, etc. in something like a wide coverage of the region which destroyed the habitat.Companies should preserve the balance, such as invading the field which is far less occupied by endangered species, reexhibiting certain organisms to a safer location, or putting the region back into the very same old role.So quester should do these things completely differently, to protect the ecological balance.

On Sep 18, Mesa returned $800 of the inventory. On Sep 20, Mesa paid Butte for the inventory. What journal entry did Mesa make on Sep 20
Answer:
Decrease the trade payables by a debit entry with the amount paid after the return is made. Also decrease the assets of cash by creating a credit entry to depict outflow of economic benefits.
Explanation:
Hi, your question is incomplete, i tried looking for the question online but i could not find it.
Here i will explain the journal entries that are usually made when there is a Purchase, Return and Payment of Inventory assuming the view of the customer or trade receivable.
1. Purchase
Here we have to increase the value of inventory by creating a debit entry and also increase the value of trade payable by creating a credit entry.
2. Return
