Answer:
Economies of scale; positive economic profits.
Explanation:
Economies of scale directly or imply increase or massive production by a company or group of firm. And in most cases this is not seen to be collective as it is unique and implies to a particular firm in their cause of business. This make shift can be caused or triggered by a lot of factors; example can be seen when things are been done manually with man power and at the long run a machine is been put to place, causing massive production.
Positive economic profit on the other hand is simply seen to be the effect of the economies of scale as it causes growth in the company, sometimes pushing to opening of many other branches of the same company. It is also seen to benefit the buyers as unit per capital of the said goods will have to reduce in cost too.
A time standard was set as 0.20 hour per unit based on the 20th unit produced. Assume the task has a 75 percent learning curve. Refer to Exhibit 6.4. What would be the expected time of the 40th, 80th, and 160th units? (
Answer:
0.2 hours = 12 minutes required to produce the 20th unit
I used an online learning curve calculator to solve this question
40th unit
the time it takes to produce the 40th unit = cumulative time required to produce 40 units - cumulative time required to produce 39 units. Since we are given the time to produce the 20th unit, then we must adjust our formula (12 minutes will be used as the time required to produce 1 unit) ⇒ cumulative time required to produce 20 units - cumulative time required to produce 19 units = 105.940 minutes - 102.479 minutes = 3.461 minutes
80th unit
we will modify all our calculations in the same way as before in order to determine the expected time of the 80th and 160th units:
the time it takes to produce the 80th unit = time required to produce 60 units - time required to produce 59 units = 211.990 minutes - 209.796 = 2.194 minutes
160th unit
the time it takes to produce the 160th unit = time required to produce 140 units - time required to produce 139 units = 356.020 minutes - 354.477 = 1.543 minutes
he beta of an all equity firm is 1.6. The beta of debt is 0.2.If the firm changes its capital structure to 60% debt and 40% equity using 10% debt financing, what will be the beta of the levered firm?
Answer: 3.7
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the beta of an all equity firm is 1.6, thee beta of debt is 0.2 and further that the firm changes its capital structure to 60% debt and 40% equity using 10% debt financing.
The beta of the levered firm will be calculated as:
= Beta unlevered + (Beta unlevered - Beta debt) × D/E
= 1.6 + [(1.6-0.2) × 60/40]
= 1.6 + [1.4 × 1.5]
= 1.6 + 2.1
= 3.7
Answer is B. 3.7

a property is purchased for 200,000 the purchase is financed by a mortgage loan of an amount equal to 80 percent ltv what is the total appreciation in house price eahp
Answer:
20%
Explanation:
Calculation for the total appreciation in house price
Since we are looking for total appreciation in house price Let new house price be P
P=200,000*80%
P=80,000
P=200,000*80%+80,000
P=240,000
Hence,
Total appreciation=240,000/200,000-1=
Total appreciation=20%
Therefore the total appreciation in house price will be 20%

It costs Bramble Corp. $12 of variable and $5 of fixed costs to produce one bathroom scale which normally sells for $35. A foreign wholesaler offers to purchase 4300 scales at $15 each. Bramble would incur special shipping costs of $1 per scale if the order were accepted. Bramble has sufficient unused capacity to produce the 4300 scales. If the special order is accepted, what will be the effect on net income
Answer:
Effect on income= $8,600 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary variable cost= 12 + 1= $13
Units sold= 4,300
Selling price= $15
Because it is a special offer, and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Effect on income= units sold*unitary contribution margin
Effect on income= 4,300*(15 - 13)
Effect on income= $8,600 increase
Say there is a decrease in the price of one of the inputs needed to produce good Y. As a result, the equilibrium price of X(a substitute) will:_______
Answer:
The equilibrium price of substitute good X will reduce
Explanation:
Substitute goods are goods that satisfy the same basic kind of demands, and in terms of production, substitute goods are goods that require the same raw materials for production, as a result, one of the goods can be used in place of the other. If there is a decrease in the price of one of the inputs needed to produce good Y, this will eventually result in the selling price of good Y, hence an increase in demand for Y and a reduction in the demand for good X, as a result, the equilibrium price of X will reduce to maintain the demand.
If Ohlm pledged its receivables as security for a loan from the bank, where on the financial statements does it disclose this pledge of receivables?
Answer:
The pledge of receivables as a security for a loan from the bank will be disclosed in the notes to the balance sheet.

If Company A pledges its Accounts Receivable as a security for a bank loan, then in the accounts receivable account description, a note is attached, stating the amount of the receivables pledged as collateral and the description of the loans for which they were pledged. Most times, a pledged asset can reduce the down payment that is required for a loan. It can also reduce the interest rate charged.
Suppose you held a well-diversified portfolio with a very large number of securities, and that the single index model holds. If the σ of your portfolio was 0.18 and σM was 0.22, the β of the portfolio would be approximately:_______
a. 0.74.
b. 0.80.
c. 1.25.
d. 1.56.
Answer:
B. 0.80
Explanation:
A well diversified portfolio can be regarded as one which has different securities with their weight been small. Since the single index holds,
The single-index model (SIM) by William Sharpe, is a model that that provides the risk as well as the returns of stock.
Given:
the σ of your portfolio = 0.18
σM = 0.22,
the β of the portfolio= the σ of your portfolio/σM
the β of the portfolio==0.18/0.22
= 0.82

Sea Green will have to pay $725,000 (net assets)Its owners owe nothingIf it is a partnership:
Sea Green will have to pay $725,000 (net assets)Its owners will owe the rest = $4,000,000 - $725,000 = $3,275,000If it is a sole proprietorship:
Sea Green will have to pay $725,000 (net assets)Its owner will owe the rest = $4,000,000 - $725,000 = $3,275,000Owners of sole proprietorships and partnerships are personally liable for all the business debts. While owners of S or C corporations are not personally liable for any of the business's debts.
Provincial Co. estimates it is probable that it will receive a $10,000 gain contingency and pay a $4,000 loss contingency. After recording the appropriate journal entries to recognize contingent amounts, Provincial Co.'s net assets will: Group of answer choices Decrease by $4,000 Increase by $10,000 Increase by $6,000 Not change
Answer: Decrease by $4,000
Explanation:
Contingency amount simply means the fund which a company puts aside in order to settle unforeseen expenses that the company may incur in future.
Gain contingency simply means that the future occurence brings about a gain to the business while loss contingency simply means that the future occurence brings about a loss to the business.
In this scenario, since Provincial Co. estimates it is probable that it will receive a $10,000 gain contingency and pay a $4,000 loss contingency.
After recording the appropriate journal entries to recognize contingent amounts, Provincial Co.'s net assets will decrease by $4,000 as $4000 will be removed because it's a loss.
Quark Corp. issues bonds on January 1, 2020 with a face value of $100,000, a coupon (stated) rate of 8%, and they mature in ten years. The market rate is 9% on January 1, 2020. The bonds sell for $93,496 and pay interest semi-annually on 6/30 and 12/31 each year. What is the amount of interest expense recognized by Quark on June 30, 2020
Answer:
$4,207.32
Explanation:
The interest expense the company would recognize for the six-month period ended 30 June 2020 is the cash proceeds from the bond issuance multiplied yield to maturity of 9% which is also adjusted to reflect six-month period rather than a full year period as shown below:
The amount of interest expense recognized by Quark on June 30, 2020=$93,496*9%*6/12
The amount of interest expense recognized by Quark on June 30, 2020=$4,207.32
The amount of interest expense recognized by Quark on June 30, 2020 is $4,207.
Using this formula
Interest expense =Bond carrying value x Market rate x Time
Where:
Bond carrying value=$93,496
Market rate=9%
Time=6/12
Let plug in the formula
Interest expense= $93,496 x .09 x 6/12
Interest expense= $4,207
Inconclusion the amount of interest expense recognized by Quark on June 30, 2020 is $4,207.

What is the average income of an economy with a Gini coefficient of 0.2 and a covariance between income and cumulative distribution of income equal to 180?
Answer:
Average Income = $450
Explanation:
The Gini coefficient is an index of measuring inequality of inome or wealth distribution among population within countries and between countries.
Gini Coefficient = Covariance between income and cumulative distribution of income / 2 (average income) . It implies, Average income = Covariance between income and cumulative distribution of income / 2 Gini coefficient
Average income = 180 / 2*0.2
Average income = 180 / 0.4
Average Income = $450
Hence, the average Income of the economy is $450.
