In the ultimatum game, one reason players don't choose the rational offer is A. they are worse off by taking the offer. B. that there are too many possible outcomes to reasonably consider. C. most people believe in reciprocity, and will therefore get even if the prosper treats them badly. D. that it is not a Nash equilibrium.
Answer:
C. Most people believe in reciprocity, and will therefore get even if the prosper treats them badly.
Explanation:
In recent times, this game has formed to be a great experimental tool to economists where a certain amount of money is been divided into two equal halves between the proposer and the other player. It is noted that at the end of repeatedly playing the game, ten times in their experiment, players almost always converges to the initial median effort level of four or five.
And in the other hand, a reasonable amount of players believe in reciprocity, and will therefore get even if the prosper treats them badly.
Most of this games and its forms have a set of Pareto ranked pure strategy Nash equilibria, one for each possible effort level.
Artville is deciding whether to purchase a new statue for the center of town. The statue will cost the city $17,000 and will only be purchased if the costs are covered. The city is asking for households to help cover the cost of the statue, but households are not forced to contribute. Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number.
Required:
a. If households are asked to contribute $5 each to help cover the cost of the statue, how many households will need to contribute?
b. If the population of Artville is 4,000 households, of which 3,000 households are expected to free ride, will the city be able to afford the statue if it charges each household $14?
Answer:
a. 3,400 households
b. No
Explanation:
a. The computation of the number of families is shown below:-
Total Cost = No.of families contributing × Amount each family contributing
$17,000 = No of families × 5
Number of families = $17,000 ÷ 5
= 3,400 households
b. According to the question, it is mentioned that Artville 's population is 4,000 of which 3,000 households are expected to travel freely, which means that these 3,000 people will not pay for the statue and the entire burden of the statue 's cost will fall on the left amount 1,000.
Total cost = No of households contributing × Amount each household pays
= 1,000 × $14
= $14,000
We may conclude that we will not be able to buy this statue because the sum raised is only 14,000, although we need $17,000 to buy the statue. To this question, the answer is "No".
Wildhorse Corporation has retained earnings of $677,000 at January 1, 2020. Net income during 2020 was $1,510,000, and cash dividends declared and paid during 2020 totaled $82,000. In addition, an error was discovered: land costing $87,000 (net of tax) was charged to maintenance and repairs expense in 2019. Determine the ending retained earnings balance for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Answer:
$2,192,000
Explanation:
Adjusted January 1, 2020 retained earning = January 1, 2020 retained earning + Error (Land cost) = $677,000 + $87,000 = $764,000
Retained earning for 2020 = Net income during 2020 - Dividends declared and paid during 2020 = $1,510,000 - $82,000 = $1,428,000
December 31, 2020 retained earnings = Adjusted January 1, 2020 retained earning + Retained earning for 2020 = $764,000 + $1,428,000 = $2,192,000.
Therefore, the ending retained earnings balance for the year ended December 31, 2020 is $2,192,000.
A cash-flow budget uses the same format as a cash-flow statement. It is prepared on a monthly basis and it reflects budgeted income and expenses. In addition to the cash-flow statement, Scott and Mary made a list of budget assumptions, listed for you here:
1. scott's income will increase by 5%, effective January 1 His bonus is generally 10% of his income in the previous year, and he recerves it in January.
2. Mary's raise will be 3%, effective January 1.
3. Interest and dividend income will conservatively be the same in 2017 as it was in 2016 and will be received on a monthly basis.
4. Mortgage payments will be the same in 2017 as they were in 2016.
5. Federal income taxes are estimated at 20%, state income taxes at 6%, and social security taxes at 7.65% of wages, including Scotts bonus.
6. Property insurance and property taxes are paid every six months, in June and December. The amount is expected to be the same in 2017 as it was in 2016.
7. Mary will contribute $60 per week for the employee portion of their medical insurance. According to her pay schedule, April and June are five-week months. Auto insurance is paid at the end of each calendar quarter and should not be more than it was in 2016.
8. Scott and Mary would like to purchase a new car in the next few years and will put $500 a month away specifically for that purpose.
9 Scott and Mary don't expect the amount of variable expenses to change in 2017 except that they would like to double their charitable contributions and go on a vacation to Ireland in June. The vacation will cost $6,000.
10. Gift purchases are made mostly around the holidays, so Scott and Mary are planning to pay half of the gift expense in December and half in January when the credit card bill comes in.
11. Water and sewer is billed quarterly, in January, April, July, and october. The cost of heat should be spread over six months from November to April.
12. All other variable expenses can be spread evenly every month at 2016 amounts. Use the information from their cash-flow statement (listed in the first column of the following annual budget) and their budget assumptions to fill in the missing amounts for the first six months of Scott and Mary's monthly budget for 2017.

The UCLA transportation economist Donald Shoup developed a formula to explain the rational maximum cruising time for parking. Calculate the cruising time elasticity (i.e., the point elasticity using calculus) with respect to the price (p). At a price of p=5 and m=12, what is the elasticity of c with respected to p? At this point, how will a 1% increase in p alter the maximum cruising time? Refer to the elasticity you calculated.
Answer:
The above elasticity suggests that by raising the curb parking price by 10% reduces the time drive are willing to cruise by only 7.1%. also the increase of curb pricing would make elasticity greater that shows that curb park pricing by 1% reduces the drivers that are willing to cruise by only 2.3 %
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Now, when we look at the papers designed by the economists for the various formulas of calculating elasticity related to six factors examples like, the price of off street parking, the price of fuel, the number of person or individuals in a car, the price of curb parking, time value, we would notice that the formula for calculating cruising time elasticity with that of curb parking price is stated below:
E = - p/(m-p)
E = -5/12-5
E = -5/7
=-0.714
The above elasticity states that by raising the curb parking price by 10% reduces the time drive are willing to cruise by only 7.1%
Now,
The new elasticity = -7/(10-7)
=-7/3
=-2.33 or 2.33%
It suggests that the increase of curb pricing would make elasticity greater that shows that curb park pricing by 1% reduces the drivers that are willing to cruise by only 2.3 %
Jamie Dimon is the CEO and chairman of JPMorgan Chase. He has held both roles since 2005--that is, before, during, and after the financial crisis. Few executives on Wall Street are as respected and recognized, or as well compensated—for instance, in 2013 it was approximately $11.5 million; in 2014, $20 million; and in 2015, $27 million.
In one sense, this is typical of total executive compensation in the finance industry. Mr. Dimon's straight salary is often $1.5 million, and the rest (more than 90 percent) is tied to some measure of firm performance, such as stock price and profitability.
However, JPMorgan and others have come under considerable pressure for what the compensation package doesn't consider directly--ethics. During this same period, JPMorgan has settled legal claims in excess of $25 billion! A few notable examples include: $920 million for allowing traders to fraudulently overvalue investments and conceal losses; $1 billion related to securities fraud and concealment of losses in the "London Whale" trading fiasco (JPMorgan lost $6.2 billion apart from the fines); $13 billion in settlement of risky mortgages; and another $2 billion for not identifying the Madoff Ponzi scheme and the losses it caused its own investors.money
To be fair, Dimon's low $11.5 million year was intended to reflect his role related to the London Whale debacle, but this bonus reduction took place only due to pressure from Congress (Dimon earned $23 million the year before). Defenders of Dimon, and the JPMorgan board of directors who granted the pay, say he deserves such rewards for negotiating smaller fines and for producing industry-leading profitability. JPMorgan had record profits in 2015.
This scenario nevertheless raises an obvious question: Is JPMorgan's pay for performance really pay for profits without consideration of other activities that are costing it billions of dollars in penalties and fines? Dimon was CEO before, during, and since all of these billions in penalties were paid. He did not inherit the problems of a previous executive. And a corporate ethics monitoring group reported that since the financial crisis of 2008 "there appears to be no change in the frequency of the ethical issues facing the company which suggests different types of intervention are needed." The combination of these details leads some to argue that Dimon should be fired.
What Would You Do?
As you may know, the board of directors is ultimately responsible for the performance of the firm, its CEO, and all executives' compensation. With this in mind, assume JPMorgan replaced its entire board. You are now the chair, and Jamie Dimon is only the CEO. What would you recommend?
a. Would you fire Mr. Dimon outright or suggest some other changes to keep this from happening again? Defend your choice.
b. Your answer to #1 aside, what recommendations do you have for the CEO's compensation from here on? Explain.
c. Details of the case aside, describe how you could be sure pay-for-performance for the CEO also includes performance related to ethical conduct.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
a. Ethics play a very important role in any organization. Ethics ensures the legitimacy and reputation of the organization. Therefore, it cannot be ignored that Mr. Dimon has disregarded the ethical norms when serving as the CEO and Chairman of JPMorgan. Even though the business is earning profits, such fraudulent and unfair business activities should not be acceptable by the company.
With regards to this, as the chairman, I would fire Mr. Dimon for his immoral way in conducting business activities. This will also set an example for others.
b) As far as the CEO's compensation is concerned, pay shouldn't be just for business performance or profits but also for ethical performance. A business without values and ethics cannot succeed in the long run. Even though profits are vital, they shouldn't be at the cost of morality and ethics.
Therefore, it is vital to compensate the CEO after considering every essential factors and not just on the basis of the businesss performance.
c) A proper Performance Analysis in an organization is made up of all the criterias required to measure the performance of both the company and the employees. Regarding the situation in the question, the ethical dilemma can be solved through the consideration of ethical conduct as an equal and important factor when evaluating pay for performance. Therefore, the pay for performance should include ethical and business aspects together which will lead to more transparency when assessing the compensation.
When Dave, the sales manager, is deciding on who will train the new sales trainee, he tries not to look at just the recent sales numbers but also checks past sales reports to determine who is the most productive. This way he is not affected by the ________ bias.
Answer:
Availability.
Explanation:
This is explained as the ability to process information that comes to the mind immediately trying to think lesser or neglect that which is not yet in mind. That was what Dave, could not phatom in the above description. This phenomenon ends up making people often judge the likelihood of an event, or frequency of its occurrence subtly with which instances and scenarios come easily to mind.
In business dealings for example, an over-estimation can be the likelihood of attacks by sharks or list accidents. Also, some smokers may see one elderly heavy smoker and exaggerate the likely healthy life expectancy of this group.
Consumption Ratios; Activity Rates Saludable Company produces two types of get-well cards: scented and regular. Drivers for the four activities are as follows:
Scented Cards Regular Cards
Inspection hours 1,080 720
Setup hours 420 180
Machine hours 960 2,880
Number of moves 2,880 720
The following activity data has been collected:
Inspecting products $45,000
Setting up equipment 28,500
Machining 30,720
Moving materials 16,200
Required:
1. Calculate the consumption ratios for the four drivers. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Scented Cards Regular Cards

Setup hours
Machine hours
Number of moves
2. Which of the following statements indicate there is product diversity?
Explain the significance of product diversity for decision making if the company chooses to use machine hours to assign all overhead.
If machine hours are used as the only driver, cards would receive 21% of the overhead, and cards would receive 79% of the overhead. Yet, the cards consume well over 53% of the non-machine related overhead. Thus, the Scented cards are , and the Regular cards are . This inaccuracy can adversely affect many decisions, including pricing, keep or drop, and cost-volume-profit.
3. Calculate the activity rates that would be used to assign costs to each product. Round your answers to the nearest cent.
Rates:
Inspecting products $ per inspection hour
Setting up equipment $ per setup hour
Machining $ per machine hour
Moving materials $ per move

2. Diverse products consume activities in different amounts. When they are different product line with diversification the product cost may vary than the actual costs IF ABC is not used. ABC helps removal of un necessary amounts allocated and assigns actual costs incurred.
The Scented cards are more costly than the Regular card. If machine hours are used as the only driver,Scented cards cards would receive 21% of the overhead, and Regular cards would receive 79% of the overhead. This shows that Scented cards are under costed and Regualr Cards are over costed if ABC is not used.
3. Activity Rate= Activity Cost/ Cost Driver

Pitkins Company collects 20% of a month's sales in the month of sale, 70% in the month following sale, and 6% in the second month following sale. The remainder is uncollectible. Budgeted sales for the next four months are: Cash collections in April are budgeted to be: Select one: a. $321,000 b. $313,000 c. $320,000 d. $292,000
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash collection= 20% of a month's sales in the month of sale
Account sales= 70% in the month following sale, and 6% in the second month following sale.
The remainder is uncollectible.
We weren't provided with information regarding sales. I can invent some numbers to show how it's done.
Sales:
February= 200,000
March= 188,000
April= 213,000
Cash collection:
Sales in cash April= (213,000*0.2)= 42,600
Sales on Account March= (188,000*0.7)= 131,600
Sales on Account February= (200,000*0.06)= 12,000
Total cash April= $186,200
The monthly salaries for December and the year-to-date earnings of the employees of Bush Consulting Company as of November 30 follow. Determine the amount of social security tax to be withheld from each employee’s gross pay for December. Assume a 6.2 percent social security tax rate and an earnings base of $122,700 for the calendar year. (Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
The social security tax rate for the employees is show below
Thus, for the employee 3 = 10709 + 117799 = 128, 508 which is above the base
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Employee: 1 2 3 4
December Salary : $9900 $10,000 $10709 $10,000
Year of date earnings
Through November 30: $99,000 $70,000 $117799 $100000
Social sec taxable
Earnings December: 9900 10,000 4901 10,000
Social security tax 6.2%: 613.80 620 304 620
Now,
For the employee 3 = 10709 + 117799 = 128, 508 which is above the base
Thus,
$128,508 - $122, 700
=5808 ( this earning is not taxable)
Hence, 10709 -5808 = 4901 (this is a taxable earning).
A company currently makes a component used in production. The per unit costs incurred to make the component include: Direct materials: $5; Direct labor: $2; Overhead: $4; Total cost: $11. Twenty-five percent of the overhead costs are considered incremental. The company can purchase the component from another source for $10. The company should do which of the following?
A. The company should not make the components because incremental costs are $2 less than the purchase price.
B. The company should make the components because incremental costs are $2 less than the purchase price.
C. None of above
Answer:
The company should make the components because incremental costs are $2 less than the purchase price.
Explanation:
To solve this we would have to calculate the cost of making each unit of the component.
= Direct Labour + Direct Material + Overhead*
25% of Overhead is said to be Incremental. Overhead is 4. This means that 25% of 4 is the Marginal Cost of production. i.e, the cost per unit.
= 25% * 4
= (25/100) x 4
= 1
We would charge $1 per unit to overhead costs.
Therefore, the cost of making each unit of component
= $5 + $2 + $1 = $8
Since the cost of purchasing each unit of component is $10. Then the company has to produce the component because it is less with a difference of $2.
$10 - $8 = $2
Consider the markets for head sets, smart phones, cellular telephone service, and cell phone applications. Assume the market for headsets is controlled by many firms selling similar products, smart phone manufacturers use advertising to differentiate their products, only a few firms control a large portion of the cellular telephone service market, and cell phone applications are produced by many firms selling differentiated products.
Classify the market for each of the following mobile goods and services as either monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition, or perfect competition.
Monopoly Oligopoly Monopolistic Competition Perfect Competition
Head sets
Smart phones
Cellular telephone service
Cell phone applications
Answer: Please see answer below
Explanation:
Headsets- perfect competition ---- This is because the market structure has many firms selling selling similar products, so there will be competition with the absence of price control by a particular firm.
Smart phones- monopolistic competition ---- This smart phone manufacturers use advertising to differentiate their products because even though the smart phones market here have many firms producing slightly same products , each firm has different products which cannot be perfectly substituted therefore operating in a monopolistic competitive medium
Cellular telephone service - oligopoly --- . In this Cellular telephone service market, there are a few firms that are selling either same or different services and so the few firms influence each other.
Cell phone applications - monopolistic competitions---- This is because many firms are selling different products and therefore decisions on price and the company depend on individual firm which leads monopolistic competition.
Sales of Granite City Products Inc. have been on a steady decline for the last 12 months. A market research study conducted revealed that the product of Granite City Products Inc. can be sold only for $420 as opposed to the current market price charged of $520 per unit. Granite City Products Inc. has decided to revise its sales price to $420. The annual sales target volume of the product after price revision is 280 units. Granite City Products Inc. wants to earn 30% on its sales amount. What is the target operating income?
Answer:
$35,280
Explanation:
For computation of the target operating income first we need to find out the profit per unit which is shown below:-
Profit per unit = Sales Price × Sales percentage
= $420 × 30%
= $126
Target Operating Income = Profit per unit × Annual Sales Target
= $126 × 280 units
= $35,280
Therefore for computing the target operating income we simply applied the above formula.
Carlin and Marley, an accounting firm, provides consulting and tax planningservices. For many years, the firm's total administrative cost (currently$270,000) has been allocated to services on this basis of billable hours toclients. A recent analysis found that 55% of the firm's billable hours to clientsresulted from tax planning services, while 45% resulted from consultingservices.The firm, contemplating a change to activity-based costing, has identifiedthree components of administrative cost, as follows:
Staff Support $200,000
In-house computingcharges 50,000
Miscellaneous officecosts 20,000
Total $270,000
A recent analysis of staff support found a strong correlation with the numberof clients served. In contrast, in-house computing and miscellaneous officecost varied directly with the number of computer hours logged and number ofclient transactions, respectively. Consulting clients served totaled 35% of thetotal client base, consumed 30% of the firm's computer hours, and accountedfor 20% of the total client transactions.
Answer:
The amount of administrative cost chargeable to tax planning services would decrease by $32,500
Note: Kindly find an attached copy of the complete question below
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
In this example, the total cost of administrative charged to tax planning services is given as =$270,000 * 55%
=$148,000
Now,
The activity based cost system is shown below:
Cost Amount Cost driver Consulting Tax planning
Staff support 200,000 No of clients served 35% 65%
In house com-
puting charges 50,000 Computers hrs logged 30% 70%
Misc office
Cost 20,000 No of clients
Transaction 20% 80%
Total $270,000
Thus,
Activity Workings Allocated to tax planning services
Staff support 200,000 * 65% 130,000
In house Comp-
uting Charges 50,000 * 70% 35,000
Misc office costs 20,000 * 80% 16,000
The total cost
allocated $181,000
So, the change in amount allocated to tax planning services under this system is = $181,000-$148,500
= $32,500
Last year, Goran had $30,000 to invest. He invested some of it in an account that paid 7% simple interest per year, and he invested the rest in an account that paid 10% simple interest per year. After one year, he received a total of $2460 in interest. How much did he invest in each account?
Answer:
He invested $18,000 in the first account
he invested $12,000 in the second account
Explanation:
Let x represent the account that pays 7% simple interest
Let y represent the account that pays 10% simple interest
The sum of x and y gives a total investment of $30,000
x+y=30000..........1
From interest perspective , we have the below equation as well:
0.07x+0.10y=2460........2
From equation 1
x=30,000-y
substitute for x in equation 2
0.07(30,000-y)+0.10y=2460
2100-0.07y+0.10y=2460
0.03y=2460-2100
0.03y=360
y=360/0.03
y=$12,000
substitute for y in equation 1
x+12,000=30,000
x=30,000-12,000=$18,000

Vivian’s company is considering building a huge new department store in a small town. The community argues that the store will disrupt local commerce and harm local business owners. Vivian argues that the store will save money for customers and bring more jobs to the community. Assume both arguments are true.
a. Stakeholder Theory Moral Standard
b. Profit-Maximizing Moral Standard
c. Indeterminable
d. Corporate Citizenship Moral Standard
e. Moral Minimum Standard
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: Stakerholder theory moral standard
Explanation:
To begin with, the stakerholder theory states that there are a group of people whose interest must be taken as the major responsibility that the company must accomplish. This group comprehends the owners, the investors, the consumers, the suppliers, etc. Those are the stakeholders. Therefore that in the case where Viviana's company states that the store will save money, taking care of the interest of the consumers, and bring more jobs, taking care of the interest of the locals around the company is putting the interesent of the stakeholders first. And when the community argues that it will disrupt local commerce they states that the company is only focusing in the interest of the investors and owners. That is why, in both sides the stakerholders are benefited.
Answer:
Indeterminable
Explanation:
Q- Vivian's company is considering building a huge new department store in a small town. The community argues that the store will disrupt local commerce and harm local business owners. Vivian argues that the store will save money for customers and bring more jobs to the community. Assume both arguments are true. "
A- Indeterminable because assuming both arguments are true. We can not determine who is right because building a new department store creates job opportunities and saves money, but it also harms local business owners.
NOTE-But if Vivian's argument is true then it is stakeholder moral theory.
Select Indeterminable if both arguments are true assumed.
McCoy’s Fish House purchases a tract of land and an existing building for $820,000. The company plans to remove the old building and construct a new restaurant on the site. In addition to the purchase price, McCoy pays closing costs, including title insurance of $1,200. The company also pays $10,400 in property taxes, which includes $7,200 of back taxes (unpaid taxes from previous years) paid by McCoy on behalf of the seller and $3,200 due for the current fiscal year after the purchase date. Shortly after closing, the company pays a contractor $41,000 to tear down the old building and remove it from the site. McCoy is able to sell salvaged materials from the old building for $5,600 and pays an additional $11,300 to level the land.
Required:Determine the amount McCoy’s Fish House should record as the cost of the land. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer:
$875,100
Explanation:
The values given in the question are as follows
Purchase price of land= $820,000
Title insurance= $1,200
Property taxes= $10,400
Amont of tax due for the current fiscal year= $3,200
Back taxes= $7,200
Cost of removing the building= $41,000
Salvaged materials= $5,600
Amount used to level the land= $11,300
The cost of land for McCoy's fish house can be calculated as follows
Total cost of land= Puchase price of land+Title insurance+Back property taxes+Cost of removing the building+Level the land-Salvage materials
$820,000+$1,200+$7,200+$41,000+$11,300-$5,600
= $875,100
Hence the total amount McCoy fish house should record as the cost of land is $875,100
Three different companies each purchased trucks on January 1, 2018, for $62,000. Each truck was expected to last four years or 250,000 miles. Salvage value was estimated to be $2,000. All three trucks were driven 80,000 miles in 2018, 55,000 miles in 2019, 51,000 miles in 2020, and 70,000 miles in 2021. Each of the three companies earned $53,000 of cash revenue during each of the four years. Company A uses straight-line depreciation, company B uses double-declining-balance depreciation, and company C uses units-of-production depreciation. Answer each of the following questions. Ignore the effects of income taxes.
Calculate the net income for 2021? (Round "Per Unit Cost" to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
Net Income Calculation for 2021
Company A Company B Company C
Revenue $53,000 $53,000 $53,000
Less Depreciation Expense ($15,000) ($0.00) ($16,800)
Net Income / (Loss) $38,000 $53,000 $36,200
Explanation:
Company A
Depreciation Expense (Straight line) : (Cost - Salvage Value) / Number of Useful Life
2021 = ($62,000-$2,000) / 4
= $15,000
Company B
Depreciation Expense (Double Declining Balance) : 2 × SLDP × BVSLD
SLDP = 100/ 4
= 25%
2018 = 2 × 25% × $62,000
= $ 31,000
2019 = 2 × 25% × ($62,000 - $ 31,000)
= $ 15,500
2020 = 2 × 25% × ($62,000 - $ 31,000 - $ 15,500 )
= $ 7,750
2021 = 2 × 25% × ($62,000 - $ 31,000 - $ 15,500 - $ 7,750 )
= 0
In 2021 depreciation will only be allowed where:
Book Value = Salvage Value
Test to see if Book Value has fallen below Salvage Value :
Cost $62,000
Less Accumulated depreciation $54,250
Book Value $ 7,750
Company C
Depreciation Expense (units-of-production) : (Cost - Salvage Value) × Period`s Production / Total Expected Production
2021 = ($62,000-$2,000) × 70,000/ 250,000
= $16,800
Net Income Calculation for 2021
Company A Company B Company C
Revenue $53,000 $53,000 $53,000
Less Depreciation Expense ($15,000) ($0.00) ($16,800)
Net Income / (Loss) $38,000 $53,000 $36,200

The balanced-budget multiplier is a measure of the short-run change in aggregate output caused by equal changes in government purchases and taxes. Ignoring any supply-side or long-run effects, if the government simultaneously increases both taxes and government spending by $100 billion, what is the expected short-run impact on GDP? Group of answer choices GDP does not change. GDP increases by less than $100B. GDP decreases by less than $100B. GDP increases by $100B. GDP decreases by $100B.
Answer: GDP increases by $100B
Explanation:
The Balanced Budget Multiplier is used to.measure the effect of a simultaneous increase in Government Spending and Taxes on the Economy.
While Classical Theorists believed that they cancel each other out, Keynesian Economists went about proving that this was not the case.
They showed that an increase in Government Spending had a ripple effect that was not curtailed by increasing taxes.
What they found out was that, increasing Government Spending at the same rate as taxes led to a rise in National income that was the same as the amount that Government Spending increased by.
This means that an increase in Government Spending and tax of $100 billion will lead to an increase in Income of $100 billion as well which will be translated into the GDP.
A mortgage note payable with a fixed interest rate requires the borrower to make installment payments over the term of the loan. Each installment payment includes interest on the unpaid balance of the loan and a payment on the principal. With each installment payment, indicate the effect on the portion allocated to interest expense and the portion allocated to principal.
Portion Allocated to Interest Expense Portion Allocated to Payment of Principal
a. Decreases, Increases
b. Increases, Increases
c. Increases, Decreases
d. Decreases, Decreases
Answer: a. Decreases, Increases
Explanation:
With each installment paid, the interest expense goes down while the principal repayment goes up. This is because the amount of Principal reduces with every payment therefore the interest is charged on a lesser figure.
For example, assume $10,000 is to be paid per month on $100,000 mortgage with a 10% rate.
The first time the 10% is charged on $100,000 it will give $10,000 and since the payment is $10,000, all of it will be considered interest.
The second time the 10% is charged it will be charged on $90,000 (100,000 - first payment of $10,000) instead which will.mean interest payment is now only $9,000 (10% of $90,000). The difference of $1,000 ($10,000 payable every month and interest of $9,000) will be Principal repayment.
The third time around then, the amount left is $80,000. Interest payment will be $8,000 and Principal repayment becomes $2,000.
And so on and so forth.
Baruk Industries has no cash and a debt obligation of $36 million that is now due. The market value of Baruk's assets is $ 81$81 million, and the firm has no other liabilities. Assume perfect capital markets. a. Suppose Baruk has 1010 million shares outstanding. What is Baruk's current share price? b. How many new shares must Baruk issue to raise the capital needed to pay its debt obligation? c. After repaying the debt, what will Baruk's share price be?
Answer and Explanation:
The given values are:
Debt obligation
= $36 million
Market value
= $81 million
Outstanding shares
= $10 million
(a)...
Net Assets of the firm will be:
= [tex]81 - 36[/tex]
= $[tex]45 \ million[/tex]
Now, the current share price will be:
= [tex]\frac{45}{10}[/tex] = $[tex]4.5 \ per \ share[/tex]
(b)...
Number of shares to be issued to repay debt obligation will be:
= [tex]\frac{36}{4.5}[/tex] = $[tex]8 \ million \ shares[/tex]
(c)...
The total number of outstanding shares will be:
= [tex]10+8[/tex]
= $[tex]18 \ million[/tex]
Now,
The Current share price will be:
= [tex]\frac{Net \ assets \ of \ the \ firm}{Total \ no \ of \ outstanding \ shares}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{81}{18}[/tex]
= $[tex]4.5 \ per \ share[/tex]

You plan to borrow $ 4 comma 000 from a bank. In exchange for $ 4 comma 000 today, you promise to pay $ 4 comma 160 in one year. What does the cash flow timeline look like from your perspective? What does it look like from the bank's perspective?
Answer:
Please check the attached image for the diagram
Explanation:
I would be borrowing $4000 from the bank. I would be $4,000 richer and the bank would have $4000 less.
In one year, I would be paying the bank $4160. So I would have $4160 less and the bank would be $4160 richer.
A negative sign indicates cash outflow and a positive sign indicates a cash inflow.

Two athletes of equal ability are competing for a prize of $10,000. Each is deciding whether to take a dangerous performance-enhancing drug. If one athlete takes the drug and the other does not, the one who takes the drug wins the prize. If neither take the drug they tie and split the prize.Both athletes know that the drug imposes a health risk of X dollars, meaning there are future health costs.Draw the 2 x 2 payoff matrix describing the decisions the athletes face.For what X (cost of health risks) is taking the drug the Nash Equilibrium? Explain in writing.Does making the drug safer thus lowering the costs of the risks (X) make the athletes better or worse off? Explain your answer in writing.
Answer:
The best option is when both athletes decide not to take drugs and each earns $5,000.
Explanation:
In a Nash equilibrium scenario:
Athlete 1's decision
take drug do not take drug
Athlete 2's $5000 - x/ $0 /
decision $5,000 - x $10,000 - x
take drug
do not $10,000 - x/ $5,000 /
take drug $0 $5,000
The best possible situation occurs when both athletes decide not to take the drugs. In this situation both athletes win $5,000. If both athletes decide to take the drug and charge the price, they will both earn $5,000 - X.
The Nash equilibrium should show the situation where both players win the most regarding the other player's strategy.
Suppose that each day, northern, central and southern California each use 100 billion gallons of water. Also assume that northern California and central California have available 120 billion gallons of water, while southern California has 40 billion gallons of water available. The cost of shipping one billion gallons of water between the three regions is as follows:
Northern Central Southern
Northern $5,000 $7,000 $10,000
Central $7,000 $5,000 $6,000
Southern $10,000 $6,000 $5,000
We will not be able to meet all demand for water, so we assume that each billion gallons of unmet demand incurs the following shortage costs:
Northern Central Southern
Storage cost/billion $6,000 $5,000 $9,000
gallon short
How should California’s water be distributed to minimize the sum of shipping and shortage costs?

KYG Instruments, a firm that produces manufacturing equipment for various industries, experiences an influx of new sales employees due to a recent expansion. Despite possessing a vast amount of sales experience, most of the new employees perform poorly. This is because the new recruits possess inadequate technical knowledge about the products sold by KYG. To address the issue, the HR department is considering implementing a training program. As part of the process, the HR department's first step should be to:
Answer:
Identify what the sales representatives will need to learn.
Explanation:
Before the laying out the plan of training the most important thing is that the HR department has to analyze and identify what are the skills that they must develop through the training program which will be as per the requirement of the firm. So in the KYG training program, the first step is to identify analyze the skill sets required for the sales representatives that would be taught them.
