In the circular flow model, rent, wages, interest, and profit paid flow from ________ through ________ to ________; households receive transfers from ________, and firms receive transfers from ________..
Answer:
Rent, wages, interest, and profit paid flow from FIRMS through FACTOR PAYMENTS to HOUSEHOLDS ; households receive transfers from FIRMS, firms from HOUSEHOLDS
Explanation:
Circular flow of income is flow of real product (factors of production, goods & services) ; flow of money (factor incomes- rent, wage, interest, profit & prices for goods & services) - between firms & households . [Assuming closed, unintervened economy without financial sector ∴ no injections & leakages]
Households provide firms with factors of production - land, labour, capital, entrepreneur 7 firms provide them factor incomes - rent, wages, interest, profit.
Households spend these factor incomes earned to purchase goods & services produced by firms, for which they pay them prices in return.
This way : All Production = All Consumption = All Income keeps on 'circulating' within the economy's two sectors.

Answer:
The Answer to this question is Difference threshold.
Explanation:
A difference threshold otherwise known as Just noticeable difference is the smallest level of increase or decrease in stimulation required to sense that a change in stimulation has occurred . The concept of difference thresholds applies to different areas such as: touch, taste, sight, hearing and smell. These areas have levels that need to be met before any impact can be sensed.
Therefore referring to the question, If the snack manufacturer must increase the salt content of the chip by at least 3% so that consumers can notice the change, he is applying the concept of difference threshold.

The substitution effect is the portion of a change in quantity demanded that is due to a change in the relative price of the good.True / False.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
As per the substitution effect, when price of a good rises, keeping other factors and consumer's income constant, the consumer's quantity demanded of that good falls with the fall being attributable to a demand created for it's substitute.
For example coke and pepsi are both priced at 2$ apiece. The demand for coke being 5 units by a consumer. Suppose, the price of coke rises to 3$ assuming other factors affecting demand remaining constant, the consumer now demands lesser units of coke i.e 3 units of coke and 2 units of pepsi. This reduction of 2 units of quantity demanded of coke is attributable to substitution effect.

An investor buys a nonqualified deferred variable annuity and contributes $25,000. Ten years later, he surrenders it for $40,000. For federal income tax purposes, he should report(A)$15,000 ordinary income(B)$40,000 ordinary income(C)$15,000 long term capital gains
Answer: $15,000 ordinary income
Explanation: Tax is paid on the profit or the difference in the contributed amount and the cash surrendered. Tax isn't paid on the contributed amount or when the contributed amount hasn't been surrendered.
The interest is calculated as the difference between the cash surrendered and the amount contributed. The interest accrued is the taxable amount.
Therefore, $40,000 - $25,000 = $15,000
Interest = $15,000
Non-qualified variable annuity is being taxed as ordinary income under the federal income tax law.

In the "Talking with Little Girls" reading, Lisa Bloom writes about Group of answer choices
1. how important it is to compliment a little girl’s appearance.
2. how we should consider sending messages to little girls that we value their brains .
3. how saying "How cute you are" to a little girl when you first see her teaches her that looks are more important than anything.
4. both b and c.
5. all of the above.
Answer:
4. both b and c.
2. how we should consider sending messages to little girls that we value their brains . 3. how saying "How cute you are" to a little girl when you first see her teaches her that looks are more important than anything.Explanation:
If you have a much younger little sister, you will probably have noticed that little girls pay a lot of attention to what grown ups or much older people tell them. A 5 year old sister considers her 15 year old brother to be almost a grandpa. Unlike little boys, little girls are very affected by the way you talk to them and display very feminine characteristics, e.g. they like to play mommy with her dolls, they take care of their pets and pretend they are babies, etc.
But when you talk to them, you must be very careful to not only praise how cute she might be, but you should also praise how intelligent or capable she is. For example, I like to praise how well my little niece paints and draws, and I always tell her she will be a great artist. Since she likes hearing how good she can be at something, she draws and paints a lot, and even though at the beginning she wasn't really, now she is doing it well. Now I can proudly tell her that she is going to be the cutest painter in the world.
The correct option is: 4. both b and c.
In "Talking with Little Girls," Lisa Bloom emphasizes the importance of sending messages to little girls that value their intellect and abilities, rather than focusing solely on their appearance. Bloom argues that complimenting a girl's appearance, such as saying "How cute you are," can inadvertently teach her that looks are more important than her skills or intelligence.
By prioritizing comments that highlight a girl's brainpower and achievements, rather than just her physical appearance, we help foster a sense of self-worth based on her capabilities and character. This approach aims to shift the focus from superficial attributes to more meaningful qualities, encouraging little girls to value their intellectual and personal growth.
A furniture factory's employees work overtime to finish an order that is sold on December 31. The office sends a statement to the customer in early January and payment is received by mid-February. The overtime wages should be expensed in:
a) Januaryb) Februaryc) The period when the worker receives their checksd) Either Jan or Feb depending on when the pay period end
Answer:
Correct answer is (a) January
Explanation:
The overtime wages should be expensed in January because the overtime wage payment should be made from the company account and not base on the customer payment to the company.
Final answer:
Overtime wages should be expensed in the period when the work was performed, which is December, according to the matching principle.
Explanation:
The expenses are related to the accounting principle known as the matching principle, which states that expenses should be recorded in the same period that the related revenues are recognized. In this case, the overtime wages incurred by the furniture factory employees in late December should be expensed in December (the period when the work was performed and the revenue from the sale was realized), even though payment was received in February. Therefore, the correct answer is (d) The period when the worker receives their checks, assuming that the fiscal year corresponds to the calendar year and employees are getting paid after the period they worked.
John complained to his buddy, Frank, that prices have increased a lot over the past year. Frank disagreed, saying that the prices of some goods have gone up a bit, but other prices have declined, noting that you can get some good buys on houses right now. Frank feels that the average price of consumer goods hasn't changed. Frank and John can refer to the __________ to learn how government economists currently view the price situation.
A. GDP
B. CPI
C. PPI
D. MEW
Answer:
B. CPI
Explanation:
If John and Frank are confused whether that prices have increased a lot over the past year and there is lack of clarity that the average price of consumer goods hasn't changed, then Frank and John can refer to the Consumer Price Index to learn how government economists currently view the price situation.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that calculates the changes in the weighted average of prices of consumer goods and services, including transportation, food, and medical care.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis and Statistics of a country calculates the CPI by dividing price changes for each item by its original price.

A firm has net income of $38,000, preferred stock dividends of $10,000, and common stock dividends of $8,000. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding that sells for $46 a share. What is the price-earnings (PE) ratio?
Answer:
16.43 times
Explanation:
The computation of the price-earnings ratio is shown below:
Price-earnings ratio = (Market price per share) ÷ (Earning per share)
where,
Earning per share is
= (Net income - preferred stock dividends) ÷ (common stock outstanding)
= ($38,000 - $10,000) ÷ (10,000 shares)
= ($28,000) ÷ (10,000 shares)
= $2.8 per share
So, the price earning ratio would be
= ($46) ÷ ($2.8)
= 16.43 times
Final answer:
To calculate the P/E ratio, subtract preferred dividends from net income to find EPS, then divide the stock's price per share by EPS. For this firm, the P/E ratio is 16.43.
Explanation:
To calculate the price-earnings (P/E) ratio for a firm, we must first find the earnings per share (EPS). The net income of the firm is given as $38,000. To find the EPS, we subtract the preferred stock dividends of $10,000 and don't consider the common stock dividends, as they are not included in this calculation. After subtracting, we are left with $28,000 for the common shareholders. We then divide this amount by the number of common shares outstanding, which is 10,000, giving us an EPS of $2.80.
Next, we use the closing price of the company's common stock, which is $46 per share, to determine the P/E ratio. The formula for the P/E ratio is the price per share divided by the EPS. In this case, we divide $46 by $2.80 to get a P/E ratio of 16.43. Therefore, the P/E ratio for the firm is 16.43.

Determine the amount of money accumulated in 5 years with an initial deposit of $10,000, if the account earned 12% compounded monthly the first 3 years and 15% compounded semiannually the last 2 years.
Answer:
$19,107.48
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Total time = 5 years
Initial deposit = $10,000
Interest rate for the first 3 years = 12% compounded monthly
Interest rate for the last 2 years = 15% compounded semiannually
Now,
Amount after 3 years = [tex]P \times( 1 + \frac{r}{n})^{\Large{n \times t}}[/tex]
Here,
P = Amount of money deposited,
r = annual interest rate
n = number of times compounded per year = 12 for monthly compounding
t = time in years
Thus,
Amount after 3 years = 10000 [tex]\times( 1 + \frac{ 0.12 }{ 12 } \right)^{\Large{ 12 \times3 }}[/tex]
= 10000 × 1.1³⁶
= $14,307.69
Therefore,
Deposit for last 2 years = $14,307.69
Thus,
Final amount after 2 years with deposit of $14,307.69
= 14307.69 × [tex]\left( 1 + \frac{ 0.15 }{ 2 } \right)^{\Large{ 2 \times2 }}[/tex]
= 14307.69 × 1.075⁴
= 14307.69 × 1.335469
= $19,107.48
Hence,
The final amount after 5 years = $19,107.48

Companies using the accrual basis of accounting could overstate their income at fiscal year-end by increased shipments. Which two accounts would be most at risk?
Answer:
Sales and Account Receivable
Explanation:
Accrual Basis
The accrual basis of accounting is the principle of accounting where income is recognized when it occurs and not when cash is received. In order words, once sales is made even before the cash from the sales is received, sales is to reflect the transaction.
Once income for the fiscal year-end is overstated by increased shipments, first sales will be at risk because income means sales have occurred, therefore increased shipments mean increased sales. Sales must increase to match the the shipment.
Secondly, increase in sales automatically means increase in accounts receivable (remember, accrual basis means the account receivable is to reflect expected cash income as a result of sales). So increased sales as a result of increased shipment also affects increase in account receivable.

Ajax Inc. is one of the customers of a well-known linenmanufacturing company. Ajax has not ordered linen in some time, but when it did order in the past it ordered frequently, and its orders were of the highest monetary value. Under the given circumstances, Ajax is most likely to have a[n] RFM score of 511.
Answer:
False, its score should be 155.
Explanation:
RFM analysis scores customers on a ranking that goes from 1 - 5, with 5 being the best parameter (555 is the ideal customer). The factors used in a RFM analysis are recency, frequency, and monetary value.
Companies perform RFM analysis based on the idea that 80% of the company's total business comes from only 20% of its customers.
In this case, Ajax would get:
1 for recency since it hasn't purchased anything in a long time, 5 for frequency because when it used to purchase goods, they did it quite frequently5 for monetary value because they were the largest sales
