Sally received $78,300 of compensation from her employer and she received $540 of interest from a corporate bond. What is the amount of Sally's gross income from these items?
Answer: The amount of sally's gross income from these items is $78,300
Explanation:
Information provided from the question;
Amount received from employer as compensation = $78,300
Amount received as interest from a corporate bond = $540
Gross income is defined as the sum of all wages, salaries, profits, interest payments, rents, and other forms of earnings, before any deductions or taxes. However, the interest income earned from municipal bonds is exempted from all federal income taxes regardless of one's tax bracket. Therefore, the amount of Sally's gross income from these items is $78,300
Vicky Torres and Juanita Alva were the first in line at Best Buy during a Black Friday sale so that they could secure a large-screen TV, which was normally $499 and was advertised on sale at $199. Because they arrived three weeks early, they ended up waiting in line for a total of 500 hours! The authors of your textbook found their choice puzzling because of the high opportunity cost in this scenario. The authors say: "Saving $300 by spending 500 hours makes Vicky and Juanita's time worth 60 cents an hour. They could have spent 30 hours working an extra job at $10 an hour and each earned enough money to purchase the TV at full price-and still had 470 hours to do other things. In short, they don't seem to have been aware of the opportunity cost of waiting in line." But this is not the only conclusion one can draw from Vicky and Juanita's behavior. Choose the conclusion below that would be consistent with the idea that Vicky and Juanita were aware of the opportunity costs yet still found the three-week-wait to be worthwhile.
a. "However, they might have enjoyed the experience of camping out in line, meeting other customers, and gaining a degree of fame for their commitment to getting a good deal."
b. "Vicky and Juanita really enjoy their high paying jobs and don't like camping at all."
c. "If they are able to camp out for three weeks, they probably do not have full-time jobs, so earning 60 cents an hour is a good decision for the shoppers."
Answer:
a. "However, they might have enjoyed the experience of camping out in line, meeting other customers, and gaining a degree of fame for their commitment to getting a good deal."
Explanation:
Opportunity costs refer to the extra costs or benefits lost associated with choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. In other words, every activity that you carry out includes the opportunity cost of not doing something else. Vicky and Juanita obtained more than just the $300 discount, they also met new people and a little bit of fame.
Assume an investor purchases the net assets of an investee for the cash purchase price is $75,600. The investor is willing to purchase the investee's business for this amount because the fair value of PPE is $70,560 and the fair value of a (previously unrecognized) customer list is $15,120 (the fair values of all other assets and liabilities are equal to their book values). The investee company reports the following balance sheet on the acquisition date:
Cash $2,800 Accounts payable $5,600
Accounts receivable 5,600 Accrued liabilities 8,400
Inventories 11,200 -
Current assets 19,600 Current liabilities 14,000
Long-term liabilities 11,200
PPE, net 28,000 Stockholdersâ equity 22,400
Total assets $47,600 Total liabilities and equity $47,600
Required:
Provide the journal entry if the investor pays cash and purchases the assets and assumes the liabilities of the investee company (assume that the fair value of the assets is equal to their book values).
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry is given below;
Cash $2,800
Account receivable $5,600
Inventories $11,200
PPE $28,000
To Account payable $5,600
To Accrued liabilities $8,400
To Long term liabilities $11,200
To Cash $22,400
(Being the cash is paid is recorded)
Here all the assets are debited as it increased the assets and credited all the liabilities except cash as it increased the liabilities and the remaining balance left would be credited to cash account

Suppose that the California legislature passes a law that severely restricts carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles in that
state. A group of automobile manufacturers files suit against the state of California to prevent the enforcement of the law. The
essentially the same as carbon dioxide emission standards. According to the automobile manufacturers, it is unfair to allow
ralifornia to impose more stringent regulation
automakers claim that a federal law already sets fuel economy standards nationwide and that fuel economy standards are
s than those set by the federal law. Using the information presented in the chapter,
answer the following questions. Are the plaintiffs seeking a legal remedy or an equitable remedy?
Answer:
The plaintiffs are seeking an equitable remedy.
Explanation:
Legal remedies basically involve monetary compensations, in other words, the non-breaching party (in this case case manufacturers) sue in order to receive money.
While equitable remedies do not involve monetary compensations, instead they seek other types of solutions.
You have already purchased (non-refundable and unsellable) tickets to a concert on Friday night. A friend also invites you to her birthday party on Friday. While you like your friend, you politely decline because you really want to go to the concert.
A) You learn that your friend is serving flank steak at her party, all-you-can eat and at no charge. Flank steak is your favorite food. Should this affect your decision to go to the concert? Explain by using the term "opportunity cost."
B) Suppose instead that you notice that the non-refundable concert ticket (that you already purchased) cost you $10; previously you had mistakenly believed the price was $100. Should learning this information affect your decision to go to the concert?
Answer:
a) Opportunity costs refer to the extra costs or benefits lost associated with choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. In other words, every activity that you carry out includes the opportunity cost of not doing something else.
If you decide to go to the concert, your opportunity cost has increased. it is not only your friend's party, but it is also your favorite meal. This last part might make you change your mind.
b) Of course it would, since $10 is not that much considering a delicious meal and time with your friends.
Using the Three-Step Ethics Model (Blanchard-Peale) analyze the following case:
A student knows that two other students who sit next to each other in class are cheating on exams because they talk about it after class. Is this an ethical dilemma? What, if anything, should the student do?
a. _______________________________________________________________________________________
b. _______________________________________________________________________________________
c. _______________________________________________________________________________________
Answer:
I. Yes, it is an ethical dilemma. There are two lines of action that are morally correct but conflict with one another. That is, individually, both lines of action seem correct or right but once a choice is made to go with one the other becomes wrongful. The student is probably torn between reporting and not reporting. If they report, the students will be punished and probably asked to repeat the exam. If they don't, the results for the examinations be a true example of the capacities of the student in the class.
An example would be a staff in a car dealership business who discovers that her boss always bribes the regional sales manager from the car company so that the company can get more vehicles allotted to them.
If she keeps quiet about it, she benefits because more cars mean more potential sales. More sales mean more profit for the business. More profit for the business means a guaranteed salary for the staff.
If she speaks up, the bribery which in a way puts other dealers at a disadvantage will probably stop. But she most likely will lose her job.
In the example above, there is no foreseeable repercussion for the student if he or she reports the matter of cheating to the relevant authority.
It is important to resolve the question of whether or not reporting such matter should rest on whether or not the subject would be exposed to a repercussion. This is what the 3 steps ethics model seeks to resolve.
2. In order to decide what to do, the student who observed the cheating must carry out the following excercise.
The 3-step Ethics asks the following questions:
1. Is it legal? the answer is No. That's why the word "cheat" is used to describe the action of the students during the examinations.
2. Is it fair? Cheating is not fair. It means that the subjects involved are not really being examined but would most likely have results that say "haveing being tested during the examinations, they had a better result than others."
3. How does it make me feel? Putting oneself in the observer's shoes, it is impossible to feel good knowing that others would be recognized and probably celebrated for doing the wrong thing.
Analyzing all the answers above, we see that they are all in the negative. Therefore, the matter should be reported to the examiners by the student who is doing the observing.
Explanation:
As can be seen from the answer above, the Three-Step Ethics Model (Blanchard-Peale) is best utilized for the resolution of an ethical dilemma. used when evaluating an ethical dilemma

B. If as the price of good Y rises from $1.25 to $1.35, the quantities demanded of good X become those shown in column 4, it can be concluded that X and Y are (substitute, complementary) ____________________ goods.
Answer:
If the fall in price of good Y causes demand for good X to fall as well, the goods Y and X are complementary.
Explanation:
Complementary goods are those goods that people tend to buy together, since, as the word implies, they fulfill complementary purposes.
An example of two complementary goods are BBQ Sauce and Meat.
Meat is often used to grill/roast, and it is accompanied with BBQ Sauce. If BBQ Sauce price goes down, it is likely that more of it will be bought as well as more meat. The opposite occurs if the price of either good goes up. Hence, both goods are complementary.
This question examines the market for mangos. You will use a demand function to construct the demand schedule, calculate the price elasticity of demand at different points along a linear demand curve, and identify the likely effects of price changes on total revenue.
Below, you are provided with the demand function for mangos. If you plug any price into the formula for the demand function, you get the quantity demanded at that price.
Q = 150 – 25P
Task 1. Use the table below to find the quantity of mangos demanded at each price.
Price Quantity of Mangos Demanded
$1
2
3
4
5
Task 2. Calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price falls from $5 to $4.
Task 3. When the price of a mango falls from $5 to $4, does total revenue fall or rise? How do you know?
Task 4. When the price of a mango falls from $3 to $2, does total revenue fall or rise?
Answer:
Task 1. Use the table below to find the quantity of mangos demanded at each price.
For a price of $1, the quantity demanded of mangos is:
Q = 150 - 25 ($1)
Q = 125
For $2:
Q = 150 - 25 ($2)
Q = 150 - 50
Q = 100
For $3
Q = 150 - 25 ($3)
Q = 150 - 75
Q = 75
For $4
Q = 150 - 25 ($4)
Q = 150 - 100
Q = 50
For $5
Q = 150 - 25 ($5)
Q = 150 - 125
Q = 25
Task 2. Calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price falls from $5 to $4.
The formula is
Price Elasiticy of Demand (PED) = ((Q2 - Q1) / (Q2 + Q1) / 2 ) / ((P2 - P1) / ((P2 + P1) / 2)
Now, we plug the amounts into the formula
PED = ((50 - 25) / (50 + 25) / 2) / ((4 - 5) / (4 + 5) / 2)
PED = 0.1666 / -0.0556
PED = -3
We take the absolute value, 3, which is a PED higher than 1, meaning that demand is elastic: the quantity demanded in this case increased more than the price.
Task 3. When the price of a mango falls from $5 to $4, does total revenue fall or rise? How do you know?
Revenue = Price x Quantity
Under the first scenario, revenue = $5 x 25 = $125
Under the second scenario, revenue = $4 x 50 = $200
So revenue increased by $75.
Task 4. When the price of a mango falls from $3 to $2, does total revenue fall or rise?
First scenario = $3 x 75 = $225
Second scenario = $2 x 100 = 200
So revenue actually falls by $25.
Ford Motor Company is considering launching a new line of hybrid diesel-electric SUVs.

If your expenses total $21000 in Year 1 and you expect inflation rate to be 2 percent, how much more will you have to spend to buy the same goods and services in Year 2, assuming that all your expenses increase at the same rate as inflation?
Answer:
$21,420
Explanation:
The total expense in year 1 was $21000
the inflation rate is 2 percent. it means prices will increase by 2 percent.
The amount to be spent in year 2 will be more by 2% than year 1
If year expenses are 100%, year 2 expenses will be 102%
Actual year 2 expense will be 102% of $21,000
=102/100 x $21,000
=1.02 x $21,000
=$21,420

According to Interland (2009), the art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists of tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups. Discuss
Answer:
The economy is a human activity whose purpose is to ensure the production, exchange, distribution and consumption of the goods and services that people need. The goal of the national economy is to ensure the livelihood and development of the country's population, therefore the national economy includes activities such as the procurement of food and clothing, the construction and heating of housing, education, and the care of health and cultural needs. The economy includes enterprises and institutions that produce goods and services. Companies that produce similar goods and provide similar services form an industry. These are, for example, energy, machinery, plant growing, education, tourism, etc.
Thus, the economy seeks not only to guarantee the general welfare of citizens in the immediate future, but also in the long term, through the creation of consistent and solid economic policies that allow achieving high development for society.

At the beginning of the year, Vendors, Inc., had owners' equity of $49,850. During the year, net income was $6,150 and the company paid dividends of $4,250. The company also repurchased $8,350 in equity. What was the cash flow to stockholders for the year
Answer: $12,600
Explanation:
Based on the information that have been given in the question, the cash flow to stockholders for the year would be calculated as:
= Dividends Paid - (Ending Common Stock - Beginning Common Stock)
= $4250 - {[$49850 - $8350] - $49850}
= $4250 - [$41500 - $49850]
= $4250 - (-$8350)
= $4250 + $8350
= $12,600

Prepare a CVP income statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
Answer:
Net income= $370,301
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total variable costs and the total fixed costs:
Total variable cost= 779,000 + 96,700 + 81,600
Total variable cost= $957,399
Total fixed cost= 614,000 + 63,500 + 70,800
Total fixed cost= $748,300
Now, we make the CVP income statement:
Sales= 2,076,000
Total variable cost= (957,399)
Total contribution margin= 1,118,601
Total fixed cost= (748,300)
Net income= $370,301
