As more people in Green Acres use the internet to shop for clothes, the price elasticity of demand for shirts at the Green Acres store will:_______

a. decrease because the Internet offers more substitutes.
b. remain the same, but the quantity demanded will decrease as more people shop online.
c. remain the same, but the demand will decrease as more people shop online.
d. increase because the Internet offers more substitutes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D)increase because the internet offers more substitutes

Explanation:

From the question we are are informed about a situation where there is only one small clothing store in the remote village of Green Acres, and until fairly recently all of the townspeople bought most of their clothing there. In the case that more people in Green Acres use the internet to shop for clothes, the price elasticity of demand for shirts at the Green Acres store will increase because the internet offers more substitutes.price elasticity of demand which is the degree to which there is a change in amount of quantity that is been demanded as a result in the change in price, so on this case as the Green Acres use the internet to shop for clothes the price elasticity of demand for shirts at the Green Acres store will increase and this is as a result of the substitute that is been provided by the internet.

Note that substitute in business means that both the shop online and the clothing stores in the village are offering same purpose. They are substitute.

On January 1, 2016, Horton Inc. sells a machine for $23,000. The machine was originally purchased on January 1, 2014 for $40,000. The machine was estimated to have a useful life of 5 years and a residual value of $0. Horton uses straight-line depreciation. In recording this transaction:

Answers

Answer:

The entry to record this transaction will be,

Accumulated depreciation     16000

Cash                                          23000

Loss on disposal                      1000

    Machine                                      40000

Explanation:

The straight line method of depreciation charges a constant depreciation expense throughout the useful life of the asset. The formula to calculate depreciation expense per year under this method is,

Depreciation expense per year = (Cost - Residual value) / Estimated useful life of the asset

Depreciation expense per year = (40000 - 0) /  5  = $8000 per year

The net book value of the machine on 1 January 2016 = 40000 - (8000 * 2)

NBV =  $24000

As the machine was sold for $23000, the loss on disposal will be,

Loss on disposal = 23000 - 24000 = -1000 or $1000 loss

The simple interest rate per year required to accumulate the same amount of money in 2 years at 20% per year compound interest is ___________

Answers

Answer: 22%

Explanation:

Compound interest at 20% per year for 2 years is;

= (1 + 20%)² - 1

= 1.44 - 1

= 44%

The simple interest in 2 years will also be 44% for it to be equivalent.

For the yearly simple interest rate simply divide by 2 because simple interest does not get compounded.

= 44%/2

= 22%

A friend asks to borrow $635.52 today and promises to repay you $1,000 with interest compounded annually at 12%. How many years (compounding periods) will pass before you receive the payment

Answers

Answer:

4 years

Explanation:

We can calculate the years (compounding periods that) will pass before you receive the payment by calculating the PV factor at 12% as follows.

DATA

Amount borrowed = $635.52

future amount = $1,000

Interest rate = 12%

Time period (n) = ?

Solution

Amount borrowed = future amount x Present value factor (12%, n)

$635.52 = $1,000 x PV factor(12%, n)

0.63552 = PV factor(12%, n)

If you see in a discount table yu wi see 0.63552 in the fourth row of 12% rate that means it will take 4 years to receive the payment.

A proposed new investment has projected sales of $564,000. Variable costs are 37 percent of sales, and fixed costs are $132,000; depreciation is $51,500. Prepare a pro forma income statement assuming a tax rate of 21 percent. What is the projected net income

Answers

Answer:

Projected net income $135,737.80

Explanation:

The computation of the projected net income is shown below:

Sales    $564,000

Less: variable cost (37% of sales) $208,680

Less: fixed cost $132,000

Less: depreciation $51,500

Earning before income and taxes $171,820

Less: tax rate at 21% -$36,082.20

Projected net income $135,737.80

Hence, the projected net income is $135,737.80

Assume that Blossom Company uses a periodic inventory system and has these account balances: Purchases $374,100; Purchase Returns and Allowances $12,700; Purchase Discounts $6,000; and Freight-in $16,600. Blossom Company has beginning inventory of $61,600, ending inventory of $88,100, and net sales of $652,800. Determine the amounts to be reported for cost of goods sold and gross profit.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the amount that should be reported for the cost of goods sold and the gross profit is shown below;

But before that first determine the following amounts

Adjusted Purchases = Purchases  - Purchase Returns and Allowances  - Purchase Discounts  + Freight-in

= $374,100 - $12,700 - $6,000 + $16,600

= $372,000

Now the cost of goods sold is

= Beginning Inventory + Adjusted Purchases - ending Inventory

= $61,600 + $372,000 - $88,100

= $345,500

And,

Gross Profit = Net Sales - cost of goods sold

= $652,800 - $345,500

= $307,300

The author argues that advertising often appeals to sentiments. How is this connected to vicarious consumption

Answers

Answer:

Vicarious consumption refers to showing a family's (or individual) social status through the things that they purchase, i.e. keeping up with the Joneses.

Advertising links the desire to be socially recognized and accepted with the possession of material goods. This is exactly what vicarious consumption is all about. E.g. if most of your classmates use expensive Nike shoes, you will feel different if you wear cheap shoes. If you add this feeling of being different plus Nike ads reinforcing that feeling, then you will at least consider buying Nike shoes, or whichever brand is popular among your friends.

The same thing applies to your parents, e.g. if your parents' friends all buy large SUVs, then your parents will feel different if they buy a sedan even if they would be happy with it. Again, advertisement plays an important role here because it shows SUVs as the appropriate cars for successful families (and the larger the SUV, the more successful you are).

Beckman Enterprises purchased a depreciable asset on October 1, Year 1 at a cost of $120,000. The asset is expected to have a salvage value of $15,500 at the end of its five-year useful life. If the asset is depreciated on the double-declining-balance method, the asset's book value on December 31, Year 2 will be:

Answers

Answer: 50400

Explanation:

- Straight-line rate= 100%/ 5 years= 20%

- Double declining Expense= 20% x 2= 40%

From Oct1 to Dec 31 is 9 months/ 12 months a year

- Depreciation Expense year 1= $120000x 0.4x 9/12= $36000

- Book value year 1= beginning year 2= $120000-$36000= $84000

- Book value year 2= $84000- ($84000x0.4)= $50400

The asset is valued at $60,000 at the end of year 2 December by using the asset depreciated on the double-declining-balance method.

What is Depreciation?

Depreciation is allocated to charge a reasonable percentage of the depreciable value throughout each accounting period for the asset's anticipated useful life.

Given,

Purchase Value = $120,000 ( On October 1)

Expected Life = 5 Years

Salvage Value = $15,500

Required to calculate asset value at the End of Year 2  =?

Depreciation Rate = Book Value x 2 divided by Life of Asset

                               = $120,000 x 2/5 = $48,000

Depreciation Rate  = 48,000 x 100/ 120,000 = 40%

Book Value of Year 1 = 120,000 - 120,000 x 40% x 3/12 = $108,000

Book Value for end Year 2 = $108,000 - 120,000 x 40% =  $60,000.

Thus, the Book value of the asset at end of year 2 is $60,000.

Explanation:

a. $84000 gain on disposal. b. $84000 loss on disposal. c. $230000 loss on disposal. d. $45.000 loss on disposal.

Book Value on the Date of sale = Cost - Accumulated Depreication -Current year Depreciation

a. A decrease in the price level and an increase in real output.

b. An increase in both the price level and real output.

c. An increase in the price level and a decrease in real output.

d. A decrease in both the price level and real output.

Answer:

c. An increase in the price level and a decrease in real output.

Explanation:

Remember, aggregate supply often refers to the total output of goods and services in an economy available for sale While aggregate demand refers to the total value of the money spent on the goods and services produced in an economy.

Note also, what this means is that as a result of the severe oil-cutoff, the supply of oil would reduce greatly, and with lower supply in the short-run; we would expect the price level to increase.

However, as the price level increases, in the short-run, there would be an immediate decrease in the real output of oil among producers.

Assume that Curtis's marginal tax rate is 24 percent. How much implicit tax would Curtis pay on the city of Athens bond?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculation for How much implicit tax would Curtis pay on the city of Athens bond

Using this formula

Implicit tax=(Amount invested*Initech Interest rate)- (Amount invested* Athens bond Interest rate)

Let plug in the formula

Implicit tax=(11%*$700,000)- (9%*$700,000)

Implicit tax=$77,000-$63,000

Implicit tax=$14,000

The Drogon Co. just issued a dividend of $2.96 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 5 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $35 a share, what is the company's cost of equity

Answers

Answer: 13.88%

Explanation:

The cost of equity can be used along with the variables given to calculate the price of a share using the Gordon Growth model so this can be remodeled to solve for the cost of equity.

Price of stock = (Dividend * (1 + growth rate)) / (cost of equity - growth rate)

35 = (2.96 * (1 + 5%)) / (cost of equity - 5%)

35 = 3.108 / (cost of equity - 5%)

(cost of equity - 5%) * 35 = 3.108

Cost of equity - 5% = 3.108 / 35

Cost of Equity = (3.108 / 35) + 5%

= 13.88%

A2- Ao 20
A3- Ao 25
A2- A1 10
A3- A1 18
A3-A2 23

Answers

Answer: Alternative 3 will be selected.

Explanation:

The system that should be selected is the alternative that is better than the other alternatives by being higher than MARR if selected.

First compare A1 to A0

The rate of return here is 18% which is higher than the MARR of 15% so Alternative 1 should be chosen over A0 which is to do nothing.

Compare A1 to A2

If A2 is chosen over A1, the incremental return is 10% which is less than the MARR of 15% so A2 should not be chosen over A1. A1 should instead be chosen over A2.

Compare A1 to A3

If A3 is chosen over A1 then the incremental return would be 18%. This is higher than the MARR of 15% so Alternative 3 should be chosen over Alternative 1.

Alternative 3 should be chosen over A1 which should be chosen over A2 and A0.

A3 will therefore be selected.

Answers

Answer:

P0 = $280.60

Option e is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,

D0 is the dividend today or paid recentlyD0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period /year g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return  

P0 = 2.44 * (1+0.15) / (0.16 - 0.15)

P0 = $280.60

c) If I am saving to buy a fancy bicycle that currently sells for $1,050, I will have enough money ($1,150) to buy it.  It will be costing $1,134  ($1,050 * 1.08) with inflation rate of 8% in one year's time.

Explanation:

The nominal interest rate (15%) is higher than the real interest rate (7%) when inflation is positive because the real interest rate is adjusted for inflation (at 8%).  The real interest rate is the rate without inflation while the nominal interest rate factors in the inflation rate.
