Answer: False
Explanation:
Socialism is a theory that posits that production, and distribution, of goods and services should be in charge of the government. This is quite different from capitalism which advocates for the individuals to be in charge.
Even though it is true that governments of many socialistic nations have cut back on government services and have reduced taxes, this doesn't mean that all nations are adopting pure capitalistic ideals according to Deanne.
She's incorrect because there are still some elements of socialism and government interference, hence, such economies are regarded as mixed economies as they've attributes of both capitalism and socialism.
Deanne's observations is untrue as government involvement in free market economies is being ignored by her.

Bottoms Up Diaper Service is considering the purchase of a new industrial washer. It can purchase the washer for $3,900 and sell its old washer for $1,200. The new washer will last for 6 years and save $1,100 a year in expenses. The opportunity cost of capital is 19%, and the firm’s tax rate is 21%.
a. If the firm uses straight-line depreciation over a 6-year life, what are the cash flows of the project in years 0 to 6? The new washer will have zero salvage value after 6 years, and the old washer is fully depreciated. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
b. What is project NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. What is NPV if the firm investment is entitled to immediate 100% bonus depreciation? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Cashflow
Yearo zero ($2,700)
from 1st to 6th: +$1,005.5
Net Present Value: $728.53
If bonus depreciation then:
Net Present Value: $916.04
Explanation:
Cash Flow
Year zero:
-3,900 purchase of new machine
+ 1,200 sale from old machine
-2,700
Years 1 through 6:
1,100 savings x (1 - 21% tax rate) = 869.0
depreciation
3,900 / 6 = 650
tax-shield on depreciation: 650 x 21% = 136.5
total cash-flow:
869 cost savings + 136.5 lesser taxes = 1005.5
We now solve for the Net present value we discount the cashflow at 19% which is the cost of capital and compare agaisn the year zero outflow:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 1,005.50
time 6
rate 0.19
[tex]1005.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.19)^{-6} }{0.19} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $3,428.5310
- $2,700 + $3,428.53 = $728.53
If bonus depreciation scenario:
at year 1 the entire equipment is depreciate
giving a tax shield of:
3,700 x 21%= 777
This will be discounted one year as the depreciation bonus which lowers taxes occurs at year-end:
777 / 1.19 = 652.94117647
Then, we solve for the present value of the cost savings only as the depreciations do not occur:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 869.00
time 6
rate 0.19
[tex]869 \times \frac{1-(1+0.19)^{-6} }{0.19} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $2,963.0964
So we have:
- 2,700 year zero cash outflow
+ 652.94 present value of bonus depreciation
+ 2,963.10 present value of the cost savings
916.04 net present value
In your company's management development program, there was a heated discussion between
some people who claimed, "Theory is impractical and thus no good," and others who claimed,
"Good theory is the most practical approach to problems." What position would you take and
why?
Answer:
The most sensible position is to understand that theory, while not practical in itself, can be immensely helpful when dealing with pratical matters.
This is because theory gives you a sound conceptual foundation that can be used to analyze the practical context, and approach it with the best possible practical solutions.
Without theory, managers have to rely too much on intuition, which can often fail.

In the EOQ model, the average inventory per cycle over many cycles is Q/2. A. True B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
An organization would usually measure the volume of its orders in order to meet up with demand while also making sure that the cost per order is maintained at the nearest minimum. The tool used to measure the volume of frequent orders is Economic order quantity(EOQ) .
When inventories are ordered, there will be continuous movement of inventory say from Q(order amount) to zero. This means that the average inventory is Q ÷ 2. Also, the inventory costs for each period is the same as average cost(Q/2) multiply by length of the period.

Answer:
False
Explanation:
A recession is a period of general decline in economic activities. It is when the GDP of a country for two consecutive quarters is negative.
Potential output is the output an economy can produce if all its resources are fully employed.
During a recession, output is negative so output would be less than potential output.
A firm has a current price of $40 a share, an expected growth rate of 11 percent and expected dividend per share (D1) of $2. Given its risk, you have a required rate of return for it of 12 percent. Your expected rate of return and investment decision is as follows:A) 10 percent do not buyB) 12 percent do not buyC) 14 percent buyD) 16 percent buyE) 18 percent buy
Answer:
D) 16 percent - buy
Explanation:
R = (D1 / P0) + g
R=Expected Return, P0=Current Market Price = $40, D1 = Expected Dividend = $2, g=Expected Growth Rate = 11% = 0.11
Expected Return = R = (2/40)+0.11
R = 0.05+0.11
R = 0.16
R = 16%
The Expected Return is higher than the required return of 12%. Hence, it should be bought (it is expected to give higher return than required)
How would you value a 1000 bond with 10% coupon rate?
Question
How would you value a 1000 bond with 10% coupon rate?
Assuming the bonds is repayable in five (5) years time with a yield of 11% per annum.
Answer:
Value of bond = $948.54
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond of the can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Annul interest payment = 10% × 1000 = 100
Annual yield = 11%
Total period to maturity (in years) = 8 years
PV of interest =
100 × (1- 1.11^(-8)/)/ 0.11 = 514.612
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.11)^(-8) = 433.926
Step 3
Price of bond
= 514.612 + 433.926 = 948.539
Value of bond = $948.54

Productivity is expressed as:________ A. output plus input B. output minus input C. output times input D. output divided by input E. input divided by output
Answer:
D. Output divided by input
Explanation:
Productivity refers to how factors of production such as rent , land, labor and capital are combined efficiently to produce certain output in an economy. It is usually measured as output ratio divided by input ratio.
In other words, productivity means output gotten as a result of inputs added or given. For example, if 10 oranges are used to produce 3 litres of orange juice, then the productivity is the 3 litres of orange juice. However, if same number of oranges is used to produce say 4 litres of orange juice, we can safely say that the person who produces 4 litres of orange juice is more productive.
We can see here that productivity is expressed as: D. output divided by input
What is Productivity?Productivity is a measure of the efficiency or output of a process, system, or individual in relation to the inputs or resources used. It quantifies the relationship between the amount of output produced and the resources, such as labor, capital, time, or materials, that were required to produce that output.
Productivity can be measured in various ways depending on the context. For example, labor productivity measures the output per worker or per hour worked, while total factor productivity considers the combined contributions of multiple inputs, such as labor and capital.
The formula for productivity is:
Productivity = Output / Input
Therefore, option D. "output divided by input," correctly represents how productivity is expressed.

The government must mandate lower prices when beef surpluses exist; otherwise, the quantity supplied will continue to exceed the quantity demandedA. TrueB. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Beef surplus in the market simply means that there's excess of beef in the market. In this case, the quantity supplied for beef is more than the quantity that the consumers demand, which means that the price at which beef is sold is more than the equilibrium price.
Due to thus reason, the government must mandate lower prices as this will help in increasing the quantity demanded of beef, reduce quantity supplied and hence, the surplus will be curtailed.

According to the Census Bureau, in October 2016, the average house price in the United States was $354,900. In October 2000, the average price was $215,100. What was the annual increase in the price of the average house sold? (Do not round intermediate calculations)
Answer:
3.18%
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual increase in the price of the average house sold
We are suppose to use this formula FV = PV (1+r)^t but since we are looking for R the formula to use will be:
R = (FV / PV)^1/16– 1
Let note that 2016-2000 will give us 16 years
Where,
FV=$354,900
PV=$215,100
Let plug in the formula
R= ( $354,900/$215,100 )^1/8)16– 1
R=(1.6499)^1/16-1
R=1.0318-1
R=0.0318×100
R=3.18%
Therefore the annual increase in the price of the average house sold will be 3.18%
"On December 1st, an officer of REX Corporation wishes to sell stock under Rule 144. REX has 15,000,000 shares outstanding. The previous weeks' trading volumes are:"
Answer:
178,750 average shares
Explanation:
The computation of the maximum permitted sale is shown below:
But before that we need to find out the total volume which is
= nov 14 trading volume + nov 7 trading volume + oct 31 trading volume + oct 24 trading volume
= 185,000 shares + 165,000 shares + 175,000 shares + 190,000 shares
= 715,000 shares
Now
maximum permitted sale is
= 715,000 shares ÷ 4
= 178,750 average shares
Consider the following two countries. Assume they produce only these two goods. Note that productivity is now measured in how many goods can be produced per hour, the opposite of how we measured. U.S. Japan Cars 12 10
Computers 4 6A. What is U.S’ opportunity cost of making cars?
B. What is Japan’s opportunity cost of making cars?
Answer:
A. 1/3 computers
B. 0.6 computers
Explanation:
A. The opportunity cost incurred by the US to make cars is the number of computers it would have to give up to make a car.
The US can either make 12 cars or 4 computers. For every car made therefore the US forgoes;
= 4/12
= 1/3 computers.
B. The same logic applies to Japan. They can either make 10 cars or 6 computers.
Their opportunity cost for cars is therefore;
= 6/10
= 0.6 computers
A new client of yours is age 25, with limited investing experience. You have guided him when making his initial investments based on his investment objectives, risk tolerance, financial resources and financial needs. He has just returned from a long vacation, where he tells you that while on the airplanes, he has read 2 investing books and now wants to manage his account without your input. This is an example of:
Answer: Overconfidence
Explanation:
Becoming an Investment advisor is no easy feat. In most cases one would have to go through rigorous training in college after which they will probably have to get additional certification which may require more training.
All this is done to ensure that the client's money is as safe as possible in the hands of the investment advisor while they attempt to grow it. To think that after reading just 2 books on investing, one can become so good that they can manage their own investment is simply overconfidence.
Even if they were blessed with an IQ higher than Einstein, 2 books is not enough to get the requisite knowledge required. If being an investment advisor was so easy, more people would be allowed to do it.
Accounting data are used analyze cash flows, and this analysis is critical for decision making. Consider the following case: J&H corp recently hired Jeffery. His immediate mandate was analyze the company. He has to submit a report on the company's operational efficiency and estimate potential investment in working capital. He has the income statement from last year and the following information from the company's financial reports as well as some industry averages. Last year, J&H Corp. Reported a book value of $700 million in current assets, of which 35% is cash, 37% si short-beam investments, and the rest is accounts receivable and inventory.

Explanation:
cash $245
short term investments $259
accounts receivable and inventory $196
total current assets = $700
long term assets = $1,120
total assets = $1,820
total liabilities = $595
total equity = $1,225
options:
a) net operating working capital = current assets - current liabilities = $700 - $595 = $105
b) there is no information about the company's profits or the average profits for other companies in the same industry (SO OPTION B IS WRONG)
c) net operating capital = current assets - current liabilities (SO OPTION C IS WRONG)
d) correct, since the company doesn't have any long term liabilities, all of its liabilities must be current or operating liabilities
e) there is no way to determine this from the information provided (SO OPTION E IS WRONG)
