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.
Suppose US$1 = €0.7809 in New York and US$1 = €0.7793 in Paris. How can foreign exchange traders profit from these exchange rates? What actions can they take that may result in the same dollar/euro exchange rate in both New York and Paris? Please limit your response to one or two reasonably-sized paragraphs.
Answer:
If a Dollar is worth $ 0.7809 Euros in New York, and $ 0.7793 Euros in Paris, the way in which foreign exchange traders could obtain an economic profit through this difference would be by buying Euros in Paris, and selling them again in New York. Thus, they would obtain $ 0.016 of profit for each Euro traded in the market, with which, for example, if $ 1,000,000 of Euros were traded, a total profit of $ 16,000 would be obtained. In turn, trading the same amount in both Paris and New York, traders would not make any profit, equating both exchange rates.

Explanation:
Assume there are two countries (France and the United States) and two goods (Wine and Cheese). In France, labor productivity in Wine is 40 bottles per hour and 30 kilos per hour in Cheese. In the US, labor productivity in Wine is 12 bottles per hour and 12 kilos per hour in Cheese. Given this information, which country has the comparative advantage in Cheese
Answer:
United States
Explanation:
A comparative advantage results when a country's opportunity cost of producing good X is lower than the opportunity cost of producing good X in another country.
France
Opportunity cost of producing wine = 30/40 = 0.75 kilos of cheese
Opportunity cost of producing cheese = 40/30 = 1.33 bottles of wine
United States
Opportunity cost of producing wine = 12/12 = 1 kilo of cheese
Opportunity cost of producing cheese = 12/12 = 1 bottle of wine
France has a comparative advantage in the production of wine, and the US has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese.
Riverbed Inc. purchased land, building, and equipment from Laguna Corporation for a cash payment of $327,600. The estimated fair values of the assets are land $62,400, building $228,800, and equipment $83,200. At what amounts should each of the three assets be recorded
Answer:
Land=$54,600, Building = $200,200, Equipment = $72,800
Explanation:
Total Asset Fair Value = Land + Building + Equipment
Total Asset Fair Value = 62,400 + 228,800 + 83,200
Total Asset Fair Value = 374,400
Recorder Amount
Land = 62,400 / 374,400 * 327,600 = $54600
Building = 228,800 / 374,400 * 327,600 = $200200
Equipment = 83,200 / 374,400 * 327,600 = $72,800

Explanation:
A bond has a $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, and an 8% annual coupon and sells for $1,110. What is its yield to maturity (YTM)?
Answer:
YTM = 0.070616 or 7.0616% rounded off to 7.06%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity or YTM is the yield or return that an investor can earn on the bond if the bond is purchased today and is held till the bond matures. The formula to calculate the Yield to maturity of a bond is as follows,
YTM = [ ( C + (F - P / n)) / (F + P / 2) ]
Where,
C is the coupon paymentF is the Face value of the bondP is the current value of the bondn is the number of years to maturityCoupon payment = 1000 * 0.08 = 80
YTM = [ (80 + (1000 - 1110 / 20)) / (1000 + 1110 / 2)
YTM = 0.070616 or 7.0616% rounded off to 7.06%
The Fried Green Tomatoes Restaurant has increased its operating cycle from 97.4 days to 101.7 days while the cash cycle has decreased by 2.9 days. How have these changes affected the accounts payable period?
a. Decreased by 11 days
b. Decreased by 5 days
c. Decreased by 1 day
d. Increased by 5 day
e. Increased by 11 days
Answer:
Increased by 7.2 days
Explanation:
As in the question it is mentioned that the operating cycle is increased from 97.4 days to 101.7 days so the difference in days is
= 101.7 days - 97.4 days
= 4.3 days
And, the cash cycle is decreased by 2.9 days
So, the total number of days would be
= 4.3 days + 2.9 days
= 7.2 days
These have been the negative impacts

Unemployment is often called a lagging or trailing indicator because unemployment tends to rise some time after the economy begins to slow down, and unemployment begins to fall again after the economy begins to rebound. Unemployment trails GDP because:
A) laws prevent firms from reducing employment during recessions and during expansions people are still collecting unemployment insurance.
B) firms reduce hours before laying off when the economy is in recession, and increase hours before hiring when the economy expands.
C) when the economy is in a recession, firms do not want to pay unemployment insurance, and during expansions they do not want the added cost of new employees.
D) the labor force increases during recessions and shrinks during expansions.
Answer:
B) firms reduce hours before laying off when the economy is in recession, and increase hours before hiring when the economy expands.
Explanation:
In the case when the output falls so the workers would not be laid off in a direct manner. In the first time the labor would be decreased so that the demand could be analyzed. The same would be happen in that case also where the growth picked up
Therefore in the given case, the option B is correct
And the other options are wrong
Suppose that the demand curve for chairs in Euroland is given by QD = 800,000 − 6,000P, and that the supply curve is given by QS = 14,500P - 225,000. The equilibrium price is €50.
The government is thinking about imposing a tax of €2.46 on chairs.
The price paid by buyers after the tax is
Answer:
The price paid by buyers after the tax is €51.74.
Explanation:
QD = 800,000 − 6,000P .................. (1)
QS = 14,500P - 225,000 ................... (2)
P* = equilibrium price = €50
Substituting P* into equation (1) to obtain equilibrium quantity, Q*, we have
Q* = 800,000 − 6,000(50)
Q* = 800,000 - 300,000
Q* = 500,0000
Rewrite equation (1), we have:
6,000P = 800,000 - QD
P = (800,000 / 6,000) - (1 / 6,000)QD
P = 133.333333333333 - 0.000166666666666667QD ............ (3)
Rewrite equation (2), we have:
14,500P = QS + 225,000
P = (1 / 14,500)QS + (225,000 / 14.500)
P = 0.0000689655172413793QS + 15.5172413793103 .......... (4)
With tax of €2.46, equation (4) becomes:
P = 0.0000689655172413793QS + 15.5172413793103 + 2.46
P = 0.0000689655172413793QS + 17.9772413793103
Equating equations (3) and (4), and solve for new equilibrium quantity after tax, QT, we have:
133.333333333333 - 0.000166666666666667QT = 0.0000689655172413793QT + 17.9772413793103
133.333333333333 - 17.9772413793103 = 0.000166666666666667QT + 0.0000689655172413793QT
115.356091954023 = 0.000235632183908046QT
QT = 115.356091954023 / 0.000235632183908046
QT = 489,560
To obtain the price paid by buyers after the tax, PT, we substitute QT = 489,560 for QD is equation (3) as follows
PT = 133.333333333333 - 0.000166666666666667(489,560)
PT = 133.333333333333 - 81.5933333333335
PT = 51.74
Therefore, the price paid by buyers after the tax is €51.74.
There is a zero coupon bond that sells for $4,550.90 and has a par value of $10,000. If the bond has 18 years to maturity, what is the yield to maturity'? Assume semiannual compounding.
A. 4.47%
B. 4.27%
C. 4.31%
D. 4.24%
E. 4.42%
Answer:
E. 4.42%
Explanation:
Calculation for the yield to maturity
First step is to calculate the Current price using this formula
The Current price=Par value/(1+yield to maturity/2)^(2*Time period)
$4,550.90=$10,000/(1+yield to maturity/2)^(2*18)
(1+yield to maturity/2)^36=($10,000/$4,550.90)
1+yield to maturity/2=($10,000/$4,550.90)^(1/36)
Now let calculate the yield to maturity
Yield to maturity/2=1.0221092-1
Yield to maturity=0.0221092*2
Yield to maturity=0.0442*100
Yield to maturity=4.42%
Therefore the Yield to maturity will be 4.42%

Executives at worldcom committed an $11 billion fraud by capitalizing costs that should have been expensed. What was the effect of this fraud on worldcom's income statement?
Answer:
net income was too high, expenses were too low
Explanation:
From the question, we are told about how Executives at worldcom committed an $11 billion fraud by capitalizing costs that should have been expensed. In this case the effect of this fraud on worldcom's income statement is that net income was too high, expenses were too low. An income statement which can also be regarded as "profit and loss" account is a financial statement that gives the revenue as well as the expenses of a company at a particular period, so if the Executive capitalize costs that should have been expensed then it equates to the net income been too high while expenses were too low.
Company acquired land and buildings for $1,000,000. The land is appraised at $450,000 and the buildings are appraised at $800,000. The debits to the Land and Buildings accounts will be:
Answer:
Debit Land for $360,000
Debit Buildings for $640,000
Explanation:
The total acquisition cost has to be allocated based on the appraisal value of each of the Land and Buildings.
Therefore, the amount to be debited to the Land and Buildings accounts can be calculated as follows:
Total acquisition cost = $1,000,000
Land appraisal value = $450,000
Buildings appraisal value = $800,000
Total appraisal value = Land appraisal value + Buildings appraisal value = $450,000 + $800,000 = $1,250,000
Amount allocated to Land = (Land appraisal value / Total appraisal value) * Total acquisition cost = ($450,000 / $1,250,000) * $1,000,000 = $360,000
Amount allocated to Buildings = (Buildings appraisal value / Total appraisal value) * Total acquisition cost = ($800,000 / $1,250,000) * $1,000,000 = $640,000
Therefore, the debits to the Land and Buildings accounts will be the allocated amounts to each as follows:
Debit Land for $360,000
Debit Buildings for $640,000
When each additional worker hired contributes less than the previous worker hired to total output, we can say there are (is):_______
a. falling average productivity
b. diminishing marginal utility
c. diminishing average returns
d. diminishing marginal returns
Answer:
d. diminishing marginal returns
Explanation:
The diminishing marginal returns refer to a reduction in the marginal output where the value of the single factor would be rises keeping all other production factors the same or constant
Since in the question it is mentioned that for each extra worker hired that contributes would be lesser than the earlier worker hired
So this represents the diminishing marginal returns
hence, the option d is correct

Answer: 0.6%
Explanation:
The expected return is a weighted average of the returns of the assets invested in.
70% is invested in cash which earns 0%
30% is in a savings account earning 2%
Expected return = (70% * 0%) + (30% * 2%)

Mr. Ghani wants to deposit his savings of Rs. 50,000 in a bank which offers 8% interest compounded semi-annually to withdraw Rs. 2,500 at the end of each six months from the date of deposit. How many withdrawals will he or his heir (in case of his death) be able to make before the entire amount is exhausted
Answer:
How many withdrawals will he or his heir (in case of his death) be able to make before the entire amount is exhausted is explained below in detail explanation.
Explanation:
Let the no of withdrawals be n, then
Present value of n withdrawals = 50000
Interest rate per 6 months =8%/2 =4%
Withdraw amt/(Int rate)*(1-1/(1+interest)^n) = 50000
=> 2500/0.04*(1-1/1.04^n) = 50000
1/1.04^n = 0.2
1.04^n = 5
=> n = ln(5) / ln(1.04) = 41.03
Total 41 withdrawals of Rs.2500 can be made (with a smaller 42nd installment of less than Rs.2500)

Define a bounced check, or a check returned for insufficient funds. Explain a circumstance in which someone might bounce a check (give an example), and create and discuss a plan so that this does not happen to you.
Answer:
I pay for my expenses using either my debit card or cash that I withdraw from the ATM. It is very rare that I write a check to pay for my purchases. If there is an emergency situation, I withdraw money from one of my certificates of deposit.
I want to be a physicist, and I plan to earn a graduate degree in physics from Harvard University. I don’t have enough money saved up to pay for my tuition, even though I have two certificates of deposit accounts and one savings account. This means that I will probably have to take a student loan from my bank. However, I do have sufficient money in my checking account to pay for my daily expenses.
A bounced check is a check that a person has written but cannot pay for due to insufficient funds. For example, a person might send a check for a credit card bill but the person’s bank account may not have sufficient balance to pay this amount. To avoid check bouncing, I’ll always try and remember a rough figure of the money in my account. Additionally, wherever possible, I will pay my bill either in cash or by debit card.

The next dividend payment by ASAP, Inc., will be $2.00 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a 4.00% growth rate, forever. If ASAP stock currently sells for $14.75 per share, what is the required return?
Answer:
r = 0.175593 or 17.5593% rounded off to 17.56%
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 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
D1 is dividend expected for the next period /year g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return
Plugging in the values for D1, P0 and g, we can calculate the value of r to be,
14.75 = 2 / (r - 0.04)
14.75 * (r - 0.04) = 2
14.75r - 0.59 = 2
14.75r = 2 + 0.59
r = 2.59 / 14.75
r = 0.175593 or 17.5593% rounded off to 17.56%

Answer:
140 luncheons, 160 dinners
Explanation:
The number of luncheons and dinners that are sold will be 140 and 160, respectively.
What is the solution to the equation?The allocation of weights to the important variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.
Your catering business sells luncheons and dinners. Luncheons are $1,000 each, and dinners are $2,000 each. You sold 300 meals in total for a revenue of $460,000.
Let 'x' be the number of Luncheons and 'y' be the number of dinners. Then the equations are given as,
x + y = 300 ...1
1,000x + 2,000y = 460,000 ...2
From equations 1 and 2, then we have
1,000(300 - y) + 2,000y = 460,000
300,000 - 1,000y + 2,000y = 460,000
1,000y = 160,000
y = 160
Then the value of 'x' is given as,
x + 160 = 300
x = 300 - 160
x = 140
The number of luncheons and dinners that are sold will be 140 and 160, respectively.

1. How important is elasticity in the analysis of the market?
2. What are tge relying factors of demand elasticity?
Answer:
(1)Elasticity is an important economic measure, particularly for the sellers of goods or services, because it indicates how much of a good or service buyers consume when the price changes. ... If the market price goes up, firms are likely to increase the number of goods they are willing to sell.
(2) Many factors determine the demand elasticity for a product, including price levels, the type of product or service, income levels, and the availability of any potential substitutes. High-priced products often are highly elastic because, if prices fall, consumers are likely to buy at a lower price
a. Distinguish between physical asset markets and financial asset markets. What’s the difference between spot markets and futures markets?
b. Distinguish between money markets and capital markets. What’s the difference between primary markets and secondary markets?
c. Differentiate between private and public markets. Why are financial markets essential for a healthy economy and economic growth?
Answer:
a. Physical assets are tangible, they can be touched, seen, used. They generally lose value over time because they depreciate. On the other hand, financial assets are intangible, they only exist because documents say so. Their price can change if interest rates change of if market conditions change.
Spot markets are markets where securities, currencies or commodities are traded immediately. While futures markets represent the trading of securities, currencies or commodities at a future date.
b. Money markets are where investors trades short term securities, while capital markets are where stocks, bonds and other long term securities are traded.
Primary markets exist only when securities are issued for the first time, e.g. an IPO. The vast majority of trading occurs in secondary markets since a security can literally be traded hundreds of times and all of these operations, except for the initial issuance, take place in secondary markets.
c. Public markets are all the trading markets where publicly traded corporations exchange or trade securities, and anyone can buy them, e.g. NYSE, NASDAQ, etc. Private markets only involve trading of privately held securities, e.g. stocks of closely held corporations. Only certain investors can trade with private securities, they are not available to the general public.
Financial markets basically receive savings from private households and businesses, and they transfer them (as investments) to other companies that need these resources to operate and grow. There is a direct relationship between healthy financial markets and economic development.
