Answer:
A. Selection of the appropriate causal variable Y is important
Explanation:
We have this function, Y = f(X).
From this function we can see that Y is dependent on X. That is, it is a function of X. Y is not a causal variable. A causal variable is a variable that is able to influence the variable of interest. From this question Y is the variable of interest. It is the dependent variable. The independent variable is X and it is the causal variable.
Therefore the incorrect one is Selection of the appropriate causal variable Y is important

If GDP is confidently expected to grow at a rapid 4% rate this year, how do you predict investment spending will change? Is it likely to grow faster than, slower than, or at the same rate as GDP? Why? Based on this expectation, investment spending is likely to by 4%. A rapidly growing economy will generally make business people optimistic, expectations about potential future profits. As a result, they are eager to invest.
Answer:
Based on this expectation, investment spending is likely to increase by more than 4%.
A rapidly growing economy will generally make business people more optimistic, with higher expectations about potential future profits. As a result, they are more eager to invest.
Investment will increase higher than 4% because in a growing economy like this, people will be so optimistic that they would invest huge sums to capitalize on the growth and earn some returns.
This rate of increase would be greater than GDP because GDP is based on multiple factors including investment therefore those factors like government spending would have to increase as well.
If the GDP is expected to be increased by 4%, the investment spending are likely to be increased by more than 4%.
In the rapid growing economy the investors are generally more optimistic they have higher expectations about the future potential profit as a result they will be more eager to invest.
What is GDP?GDP or gross domestic product final value of goods and services produced which is the economy during a financial year. The GDP excludes the value of intermediate consumption to avoid the problem of double counting.
An increasing GDP positively effect the investment spending as the people in the economy are optimistic about the future profit and hence will be eager to invest huge sums to make bigger profits.
Therefore rate of increase in investment spending will we more than 4% when the rate of GDP increases by 4%.

Portsmouth Company makes upholstered furniture. Its only variable cost is direct materials. The demand for the company's products far exceeds its manufacturing capacity. The bottleneck (or constraint) in the production process is upholstery labor-hours. Information concerning three of Portsmouth's products appears below: Recliner Sofa Love Seat Selling price per unit $ 1,270 $ 1,750 $ 1,190 Variable cost per unit $ 850 $ 1,200 $ 850 Upholstery labor-hours per unit 7 hours 10 hours 4 hoursRequired:
1. Portsmouth is considering paying its upholstery laborers additional compensation to work overtime. Assuming that this extra time would be used to produce sofas, up to how much of an overtime premium per hour should the company be willing to pay to keep the upholstery shop open after normal working hours?
2. A small nearby upholstering company has offered to upholster furniture for Portsmouth at a price of $44 per hour. The management of Portsmouth is confident that this upholstering company’s work is high quality and their craftsmen can work as quickly as Portsmouth’s own craftsmen on the simpler upholstering jobs such as the Love Seat. How much additional contribution margin per hour can Portsmouth earn if it provides the raw materials to the nearby company and then hires it to upholster the Love Seats?
3. Should Portsmouth hire the nearby upholstering company?
Answer:
1. $55 per hour
2. $41 per hour
3.Yes
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine how much of an overtime premium per hour should the company be willing to pay.
Selling price per unit $ 1,750
Less Variable cost per unit ($1,200)
Contribution margin per unit (a) $ 550
Upholstery shop time required to produce one unit (b) 10 hours
Contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource (a) ÷ (b) $55 per hour
($550/10 hours)
Therefore the Maximum overtime premium per hour will be $55 per hour
2. Calculation to determine How much additional contribution margin per hour can Portsmouth earn
First step is to calculate the Contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource
Selling price per unit $ 1,190
Less Variable cost per unit ($850)
Contribution margin per unit (a) $ 340
Upholstery shop time required to produce one unit (b) 4hours
Contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource (a) ÷ (b) $85 per hour
($340/4 hours )
Now let calculate The additional contribution margin per hour earned by hiring the nearby company
Additional contribution margin per hour earned= $85 – $44
Additional contribution margin per hour earned= $41 per hour
Therefore The additional contribution margin per hour earned by hiring the nearby company will be $41 per hour
3. Yes . Portsmouth should hire the nearby upholstering company reason been that Portsmouth will earn an additional contribution margin of $41 per hour by hiring the nearby company
Now the restaurant owner receives some good news and some bad news. The good news is that his landlord has rescinded the rent increase. The bad news is that the price of salmon at the fish market has risen. This is a blow because his restaurant is called SALMON CITY because almost all of the items use salmon. The increase in the price of salmon: Hint: Think in terms of the relation between revenue and cost at the margin -- and its implications for firm behavior.a. will cause him to raise his price and reduce the number of meals that he servesb. will cause him to lower his price in order to raise revenuec. may cause the price he charges to rise or falld. will have no impact on the price that he charges or the number of customers that he serves
Answer: a. will cause him to raise his price and reduce the number of meals that he serves
Explanation:
The owner makes a lot of meals that rely on salmon. With salmon prices going up, he will have to pay more money to buy the salmon that he uses to prepare the meals.
This would reduce his profit margin. He will therefore have to increase the price at which he sells his meals so as to recuperate the increased costs. He will also reduce the number of meals he serves because he will have to buy less salmon so that he does not incur a larger cost.

Under an installment contract, a buyer can:
A. Reject an installment if the nonconformity substantially impairs the value of the installment without giving the seller an opportunity to cure
B. Hold the seller in breach of the entire installment contract when a nonconforming installment substantially impairs the value of that
installment alone.
C. Reject an installment no matter how minor the nonconformance is
D. None of these answers
Answer:
A. Reject an installment if the nonconformity substantially impairs the value of the installment without giving the seller an opportunity to cure.
Explanation:
A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.
There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, installment contract, etc.
Total installment price is the total amount a consumer or customer end up paying for goods and services.
Mathematically, it can be calculated by using the formula below;
Total Installment Price = ([Monthly payment] × [No. of payments] + Down payment)
Hence, you multiply the monthly revenue by the amount of payments and add it to the down the payment.
Under an installment contract, a buyer can reject an installment if the nonconformity substantially impairs the value of the installment without giving the seller an opportunity to cure. This is in accordance with the uniform commercial code (UCC).
The uniform commercial code (UCC) is a set of standardized business laws which are put in place for the regulation of financial contracts and commercial transactions used across different states in the United States of America.
There are special rules known as the special business standards that are set up by UCC governing the merchants and the sales of goods in the Article 2 of the uniform commercial code.

The Fabricating Department started the current month with a beginning Work in Process inventory of $11,600. During the month, it was assigned the following costs: direct materials, $77,600; direct labor, $25,600; and factory overhead, 80% of direct labor cost. Also, inventory with a cost of $117,000 was transferred out of the department to the next phase in the process. The ending balance of the Work in Process Inventory account for the Fabricating Department is:
Answer: $18,280
Explanation:
Ending inventory for fabricating department = Beginning Work in Process + Direct materials + Direct labor + Factory overhead - Inventory transferred out of department
= 11,600 + 77,600 + 25,600 + (80% * 25,600) - 117,000
= 11,600 + 77,600 + 25,600 + 20,480 - 117,000
= $18,280

(1 + 0.134/2)^2 - 1 = 13.85%
Multi-Level-Marketing is a quickly growing industry in the United States. Many men and women are deciding to work from home, selling various goods to their friends and family due to the convenience and possible salary that can be made. Multi-Level-Marketing consists of a hierarchy of workers and customers and is sometimes referred to as a pyramid scheme
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Multilevel marketing is a strategy that consists of creating a hierarchy of workers for product distribution, being very common companies of beauty products, essential oils, and other products that are easy to sell. The strategy works like this: the distributors buy the products of the companies to sell to the final customer, and thus they receive a percentage for the sale of the products. But there is a criticism about this strategy, which can be a pyramid scheme, when there is a greater intention of the company to recruit new distributors than to actually sell its products, because in a pyramid scheme the intention is always to profit to benefit those who are on the top. Generally, companies that operate in an illegal pyramid scheme have strong marketing aimed at recruiting people to purchase products for sale with promises of quick enrichment.

Corporation Q, a calendar year taxpayer, has incurred the following Section 1231 net gains and losses since its formation in 2016: 2016 2017 2018 Section 1231 gains $ 14,800 $ 5,700 0 Section 1231 losses (13,000 ) (9,000 ) $ (3,100 ) Net gain or (loss) $ 1,800 $ (3,300 ) $ (3,100 ) Required: In 2019, Corporation Q sold only one asset and recognized a $4,000 Section 1231 gain. How much of this gain is treated as capital gain, and how much is ordinary
Answer: $4,000 is ordinary income. No Capital gain
Explanation:
In 2017 and 2018, total Section 1231 losses are:
= 3,300 + 3,100
= $6,400
The Section 1231 gain in 2019 falls below the combined losses from the previous years of 2017 and 2018 so will not be counted as a capital gain as those losses are not yet being recaptured.
The entire $4,000 is therefore ordinary income.

To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (5 - 2.1)*56,100
Direct material price variance= $169,690 favorabe
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (8,840*4 - 36,450)*5
Direct material quantity variance= $5,450 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1.5*8,840 - 18,000)*10
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $47,400 unfavorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (10 - 8.2)*18,000
Direct labor rate variance= $32,400 favorable

Happy Lawn Company started a lawn services business on January 1, 20X1 (so all account balances were zero on January 1, 20X1). It sends invoices to its customers for lawn maintenance services at the end of each month, and expects the customer to pay within 30 days. All of these sales were made on credit. During 20X1, cash collected from its customers totaled $750,000 for services rendered during the year. At the end of 20X1, the Accounts Receivable for Happy Lawn had a balance of $60,000. After all write-offs but before the year-end adjusting entry, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a debit balance of $4,000. Given the above information and considering the recording of Bad Debt Expense for the year, regardless of the method used to estimate bad debts, the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance for 20X1 will be: Multiple Choice
Question Completion:
Assume that Happy Lawn uses the percentage of credit sales method to directly calculate the bad debt expense) instead of the aging method, and it is estimated that it will not collect 1% of the total credit sales.
Answer:
Happy Lawn Company
Given the above information and considering the recording of Bad Debt Expense for the year, regardless of the method used to estimate bad debts, the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance for 20X1 will be:
= $8,140.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total credit sales:
Cash collected from customers = $750,000
Accounts receivable balance 60,000
Write-off of debts 4,000
Total credit sales for the year $814,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 8,140 ($814,000 * 1%)
Bad Debts Expense = $12,140 ($8,140 + $4,000)
b) Since Happy Lawn is a new outfit, it does not have beginning balances of Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. With a debit balance of $4,000 in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, signifying a write-off (contrary entry from the Accounts Receivable), the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at year-end is expected to be equal to 1% of the credit sales. This will require a credit entry for Bad Debts Expense.

Question Completion:
What profit can be anticipated with a demand of 3,400 copies?
With a demand of 3,400 copies, what is the access price per copy that the publisher must charge to break even?
Answer:
Eastman Publishing Company
a) A loss of $7,200 can be anticipated with a demand of 3,400.
b) The access price per copy with a demand of 3,400 copies should be $51.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fixed cost = $150,000
Variable costs per book = $7
Selling price of single-user access per book = $49
Demand = 3,400 copies
Profit based on a demand of 3,400 copies:
Income Statement:
Sales Revenue ($49 *3,400) $166,600
Variable costs ($7 * 3,400) 23,400
Contribution margin $142,800
Fixed cost 150,000
Net loss $7,200
To break-even, the total sales revenue should be equal to the total costs. Therefore, the access price should be:
Total costs:
Fixed cost $150,000
Variable 23,400
Total costs $173,400
Sales unit 3,400
Access price = $51.00 ($173,400/3,400)
In the extended Labor CAPM, the CAPM measure of systematic risk, beta, is replaced by an adjusted beta that also accounts for covariance with the portfolio of aggregate human capital. Despite the complications inherent in any extension of the CAPM with a labor component, labor is an important consideration in explaining the systematic risk of financial securities.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
Despite the complications inherent in any extension of the CAPM with a labor component, labor is an important consideration in explaining the systematic risk of financial securities.
b. False
Explanation:
Instead of being an important component of the systematic risk, labor is a component of the unsystematic risk of a financial security or investment. Therefore, the risk arising from the labor component is a type of unsystematic risk. Unsystematic risks are peculiar to a firm or an industry. They are internal to the business environment of a firm or an industry. Systematic risks are market-driven risks. These latter risks include market, interest rate, and purchasing power (inflation) risks.
a disgruntled customer will tell how many people about their experience
Answer:
A disgruntled customer will tell 9 - 15 people about their experience.
Explanation:
According to a study carried out by the White House Office of Consumer Affairs, a dissatisfied consumer tells 9-15 people about their experience. However, with the advent of social media and the internet, this number can sky-rocket into thousands and possibly millions depending on how viral the complaint becomes.
This is the more reason why organizations should endeavor to provide good customer service so that their brand will not be dragged into the mud by disgruntled customers.

You manage an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 10% and an expected standard deviation of 15%. The rate on Treasury bills (risk-free rate) is 5%. Your client chooses to invest $60,000 of her portfolio in your equity fund and $40,000 in a T-bill money market fund. The expected return and standard deviation of your client's overall portfolio is:__________ a. 11.0% and 9.0% b. 10.0% and 8.4% c. 15.0% and 9.0% d. 5.0% and 15.0%
Answer:
Portfolio Mean return = 11%
Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%
Option a is the correct answer
Explanation:
The mean return of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each security in the portfolio by the mean return of that security and adding the products for each security. The formula for two asset or security portfolio return (mean) can be written as follows,
Portfolio Mean = wA * rA + wB * rB
Where,
w represents the weight of each security r represents the mean return of each security
The return on the equity fund = risk free rate + risk premium
The return on the equity fund = 5% + 10% = 15%
Portfolio Mean return = 60% * 15% + 40% * 5%
Portfolio Mean return = 11%
The standard deviation is a measure of the total risk. The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of two securities, one of which is a risk free security and has zero standard deviation, can be calculated as follows,
Portfolio Stdev = Weight of risky security * Standard deviation of risky security
Portfolio Stdev = 0.6 * 0.15
Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%
Ben and Jerry were currently both producing at point A on their production possibilities frontier and then Ben decided he would be willing to trade 4 pounds of cones to get 2 pounds of ice cream from Jerry. If both decided to specialize in what they had a comparative advantage in and trade, the gains from trade would be a. 1 pound of cones for Ben and 1 pound of ice cream for Jerry. b. 1 pound of ice cream for Ben and 1 pound of cones for Jerry. c. 2 pounds of ice cream for Ben and 2 pounds of cones for Jerry. d. 2 pounds of ice cream for Ben and 1 pound of cones for Jerry.
Answer:
b. 1 pound of ice cream for Ben and 1 pound of cones for Jerry.
Explanation:
Ben and Jerry both produce ice cream. They can have comparative advantage with producing the specialized product. Ben can gain from the trade if it produces more of ice cream and less or no cones. Jerry would gain the comparative advantage if it would produce cones for the ice cream. Both of them can have comparative advantage by selling the specialized products to each other.
Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon US Treasury note with four years to maturity has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note: $746,617.36 $634,624.76 $470,368.94 $895,940.83
Answer:
Asset Price= $746,617.36
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Face value= $1,000,000
Coupon= 0.03/2= 0.015*1,000,000= $15,000
Number of periods= 2*4= 8 semesters
YTM= 0.11/2= 0.055
To calculate the price of the asset, we need to use the following formula:
Asset Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Asset Price= 15,000*{[1 - (1.055^-8) / 0.055} + [1,000,000 / (1.055^8)]
Asset Price= 95,018.49 + 651,598.87
Asset Price= $746,617.36
