Answer:

The equilibrium price of peanut butter is $5. A study comes out that says the fat in peanut buffer is good for your heart. Holding all other factors constant, which of the following scenarios could happen?

The price of peanut butter increases to $7 because of a demand AND a supply shift

Explanation:

As a result of price increment, there would be a shift in the demand and supply. the increase in demand as a result of health importance would directly cause an increase in supply for the increase in demand to be met.

If a study comes out claiming that the fat in peanut butter is good for your heart, the demand for peanut butter would increase, leading to a higher price and quantity of peanut butter.

In this scenario, the equilibrium price of peanut butter is $5. If a study comes out that says the fat in peanut butter is good for your heart, it would likely increase the demand for peanut butter. This would result in an increase in both the price and quantity of peanut butter, as the demand curve shifts to the right.

So, the correct answer is d. The price of peanut butter increases to $7 because of a demand shift.

Explanation:

There are three types of activities in the cash flow statement which are described below:  

1. Operating activities: It includes those transactions which affect the working capital after net income. The increase in current assets and a decrease in current liabilities would be deducted whereas the decrease in current assets and an increase in current liabilities would be added.  

These changes in working capital would be adjusted. Moreover, the depreciation expense is added to the net income

2. Investing activities: It records those activities which include purchase and sale of the long term assets. The purchase is an outflow of cash whereas sale is an inflow of cash

3. Financing activities: It records those activities which affect the long term liability and shareholder equity balance. The issue of shares is an inflow of cash whereas redemption and dividend is an outflow of cash.

So, the categorization is shown below:

(a) Payment of interest on notes payable - Operating activity

(b) Exchange of land for patent -  non- cash investing and financing activity

(c) Sale of building at book value - Investing activity

(d) Payment of dividends - Financing activity

(e) Depreciation - Operating activity

(f) Receipt of dividends on investment in stock - Operating activity

(g) Receipt of interest on notes receivable - Operating activity

Answer:

decrease

Explanation:

Discount rates on loans have an inverse relationship with loan prices; if the rate increases, the price will decrease and vice versa. In this case, a higher discount rate will decrease the price of loans as excess reserves in commercial banks and other lending institutions get smaller. This reduces the overall money supply in the economy.

Answer:

$89.59

Explanation:

The computation of the ex-dividend price would be

= Sale price of the stock - after-tax dividend

where,  

The sale price of the stock would be $94.15

And, the after-tax dividend would be

= Dividend per share × (1 - tax rate)

= $5.70 × (1 -  0.20)

= $5.70 × 0.80

= $4.56

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $94.15 - $4.56

= $89.59

The ex-dividend price of Ginger, Inc. would be $89.59 per share after accounting for a 20% tax on its declared $5.70 dividend. This price represents the stock's value after the dividend's after-tax amount has been subtracted from its current price.

The question involves the concept of an ex-dividend price, which is the price that a stock typically drops to after a dividend is paid out. In this scenario, Ginger, Inc. has declared a $5.70 per share dividend. Since capital gains are not taxed but dividends are taxed at a rate of 20%, investors will receive only $5.70 - ($5.70 × 0.20) = $4.56 per share after taxes. To find the ex-dividend price, we subtract this after-tax dividend from the stock's current price of $94.15. Therefore, the ex-dividend price would be $94.15 - $4.56 = $89.59.

To illustrate further, consider a scenario where an investor buys a share for $100 with an expectation of a $6.00 dividend. If the stock price rises to $105 and they sell, they receive a capital gain in addition to the dividend. Similarly, if they bought a share of Wal-Mart for $45 and sold it for $60, the $15 profit is also a capital gain. Whether it's an increase in stock value or receiving dividends, both contribute to the investor's rate of return.

The body system most responsible for homeostasis in response to stress and broadly dictates metabolism is the immune system

Explanation:

The immune system is a diverse cell and protein system that protects the body from infection. Each germ (microbe) which the immune system has ever overcome will be registered, so it can quickly recognize and remove the microbe if it goes in the body.

The capacity of the immune system to combat antigens is decreased when we become stressed. We are therefore more vulnerable to infections. The corticosteroid stress hormone can minimize the immune system efficacy (i.e., decreased lymphocyte numbers).

Answer:

-0.5

Explanation:

Marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) refers to the rate at which the inputs are substituted for one another in a production of particular good.

Given that,

The marginal product of labor = 10

The marginal product of capital = 20

Hence,

[tex]MRTS=(-)\frac{MP_{L} }{MP_{K} }[/tex]

[tex]MRTS=(-)\frac{10}{20}[/tex]

                 = - 0.5

Therefore, the marginal rate of technical substitution is - 0.5.

The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution (MRTS) is -0.5, indicating that each additional unit of capital can substitute 0.5 units of labor while maintaining the same production level.

The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution (MRTS) measures the rate at which a firm can substitute capital for labor and still remain at the same level of production. It is calculated by taking the negative ratio of the marginal product of labor (MPL) to the marginal product of capital (MPK), as labor is measured on the horizontal axis. In the given scenario, the MPL is 10 and the MPK is 20.

To calculate the MRTS, we use the formula: MRTS = -MPL/MPK. By substituting the given values, we get MRTS = -10/20 = -0.5.

So, in this case, the Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution is -0.5, meaning that each additional unit of capital used would decrease the amount of labor needed by 0.5 units, maintaining the same level of production.

Solution:

1. Amount of gift subject to gift tax is only $ 1,000.

In 2018, the gift tax exclusion limit is $ 15,000. Hence, only the amount over and above $ 15,000 is subject to gift tax and IRS form 109 to be filled.

Here, the fair value of car is considered as the worth of gift.

So, taxable amount of gift is $ 16,000 - $ 15,000 = $ 1,000.

2. Amount of gift subject to gift tax = $ 1,000

The gift tax provisions will not change even if Andy's father gifted him a car or in terms of sale proceeds (cash).

Any asset money or money's worth is given to another person where full consideration is not received back is a gift.

3. If Andy's father give sale proceeds to Cornell, Amount of gift subject to federal gift tax = $ 0

Any amount given directly to an educational institution to pay tution fees as a gift is exempt from gift tax.

Here,  Andy's father directly give the sale proceeds of $ 16,000 to Cornell as a gift for his further studies, that amount is exempt from gift tax.

The portion of the gift subject to gift tax depends on the value of the gift and the annual exclusion limit. If the gift is below the annual exclusion limit or qualified education expense, no gift taxes would be owed.

1. The gift tax applies to the portion of the gift that exceeds the annual gift tax exclusion limit. For 2018, the annual exclusion limit is $15,000 per recipient. Since the value of the Prius is $16,000, only $1,000 would be subject to gift tax.

2. If Andy's father sold the Prius for $16,000 and then gave him the proceeds, the gift would still be $16,000. However, since it is below the annual exclusion limit, no federal gift taxes would be owed.

3. If Andy's father sold the Prius for $16,000 and then gave the proceeds to Cornell for Andy's graduate school tuition, the gift would still be $16,000. However, since it is a qualified education expense, it would not be subject to federal gift taxes.

Answer:

A. greater than the project's internal rate of return.

Explanation:

Net present value method: In this method, the initial investment is subtracted from the discounted present value cash inflows. If the amount comes in positive than the project is beneficial for the company otherwise not. It shows the inverse relationship between the net present value and the discount rate

The computation of the Net present value is shown below

= Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor - initial investment

The discount factor should be computed by

= 1 ÷ (1 + rate) ^ years

Internal rate of return: It is that rate of return in which the net present value is zero. i.e NPV = zero

Answer:

a. 464 beans

b. $464

Explanation:

a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]

where,

Annual demand = 200 days × 77 pounds = 15,400

And, all other items values would remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{15,400}\times \text{\$14}}{\text{\$2}}}[/tex]

= 464 beans

The average inventory would equal to

= Economic order quantity ÷ 2

= 464 units ÷ 2

= 232 units

b. Holding cost = average inventory × carrying cost per unit

= 232 units × $2

= $464

Answer:

The Post Merger Herfindahl-Hirschman index will increase by 528 Points

Explanation:

Herfindahl-Hirschman index or simply the HH Index measures a market's level of competitiveness based on the number of firms participating in the industry.

HH Index has a maximum of 10,000 points for a market that is dominated by one firm and continues to reduce and tend towards 0 as the number of firms with equal sizes in the industry increases. In other words, the increase in an industry's HH Index is a function of the decrease in the number of firms in the industry and the disparities in sizes among the firms in the industry.

For acceptable levels of HH Index, the general consideration is that a market with HH Index between 1,500 and 2,500 has a moderate concentration, while any market with HHI higher than 2,500 points is highly concentrated.

To the Question,

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) post the merger between Fiat and Case with market shares of 12% and 22% respectively, increases by 532.

Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is used to measure the concentration of market by adding the square of the market share of each firm in the industry. In this case, there is a merger between Fiat and Case with market shares of 12% and 22% respectively. You calculate market concentration post-merger by squaring the new combined market share of the merged entity (Fiat-Cases), and add it to the HHI of the other remaining firms. The increased HHI after the merger can be calculated as follows: ((12 + 22)^2 - (12^2 + 22^2)) = (34^2 - (144 + 484)) = 1160 - 628 = 532. Hence, the post merger Herfindahl-Hirschman index would increase by 532.

Answer:

a. 12%

b. 2% and 10%

Explanation:

a. The computation of the realized return is shown below:

= {(Ending share price - initial price) + Dividend} ÷ (Initial price) × 100

= {$1 + ($55 - $50)} ÷ $50

= 12%

b. The computation of the dividend yield and the capital gain is shown below:

Dividend yield

= (Dividend) ÷ (initial price) × 100

= $1 ÷ $50 × 100

= 2%

For capital gain yield:

= (Ending share price - initial price) ÷ (Initial price) × 100

= ($55 - $50) ÷ ($50) × 100

= $5 ÷ $50 × 100

= 10%

Answer:

1) 22%

2) YES as the return in the investment is 12% while the average cost of capital in this case; is of 8% hence there is a gain above the minimum accepted return.

Explanation:

Expanding the money supply is an exercise of expansionary monetary policy.

This decision will first allow our tech startup to acquire cheaper loans and expand our operations, this expansion in operations will result in new employment opportunities and hence as a result, unemployment will be reduced assuming this is a general trend in the economy.

This decision also directly reflects an increased investment and hence the GDP on the whole and the investment part of GDP would both increase,

GDP = C + I + G + (X - M), where I = investment.

This change in macro economy will increase aggregate demand due to expansionary effects. Increase in imports is not conclusive as it may or may not happen depending upon the demand state.

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Explanation:

The deadweight loss for the given information is = 1/2*2.5*300 = $375

The supply of labor of 1800 will have wage rate 1300 = 200*w

or w = 1300/200 = $6.5

Then the area of shaded portion in the figure or the deadweight loss will be 1/2*base(9-6.5) *altitude (1600-1300).

The establishment of a minimum wage leads to unemployment among workers and deadweight loss in the labor market, with highly educated workers facing the least difficulty in finding employment.

The introduction of a minimum wage law sets the price of labor above the equilibrium, causing the quantity demanded by employers to fall and the quantity supplied by workers to rise, resulting in unemployment. At a minimum wage of $9, 1300 workers are demanded while 1800 are supplied, creating unemployment of 500 workers. Not all workers benefit from the minimum wage law; in fact, it often leads to a surplus of labor where some workers struggle to find employment.

When considering which group of workers will have the least difficulty finding work at the minimum wage, it is typically highly educated workers who fare better due to their qualifications and experience compared to low-skilled or young and inexperienced workers.

The deadweight loss in the labor market arises because the minimum wage creates a gap between the quantity of labor supplied and the quantity demanded, leading to inefficient allocation of resources and potential losses in welfare for both workers and employers.

Answer:

Interest rates fall, and consumers borrow more funds, which causes the aggregate demand curve to shift to the left.

Explanation:

The quantity of money demanded is inversely related to the interest rate. One of the most useful features of the liquidity preference framework is that it allows us to see how changes in the demand and supply of money affect interest rates.

Equilibrium interest rates will increase if there is a…

Increase in money demand (+)

Decrease in money supply (+)

Equilibrium interest rates will decrease if there is a…

Decrease in money demand (-)

Increase in money supply (-)

A lower price level has the opposite affect inducing a decrease in the interest rate which triggers an increase in borrowing used for consumption expenditures and investment expenditures. The negative slope of the aggregate demand curve captures the inverse relation between the price level and aggregate expenditures on real production.When the price level changes, the interest-rate effect is activated, which is what then results in a change in aggregate expenditures and the movement long the aggregate demand curve.A higher interest rate can add to the overall cost of the expenditure. A lower interest rate can reduce the overall cost of the expenditure.

This means that changes in the interest rate can have a big impact on consumption and investment spending. The interest rate tends to increase and decrease as the price level increases and decreases. This means that a higher price level induces a higher interest rate which raises the cost of borrowing and discourages investment and consumption spending. A lower price level has the opposite result.

The portfolio's standard deviation is calculated using a designated formula that incorporates the weights of the stocks in the portfolio, their individual volatilities, and their correlation. Substituting the given values into this formula will provide the standard deviation.

To find the standard deviation of the portfolio, we first need to consider the weights of each stock in the portfolio and their respective volatilities. The weight of IBM (x) is 30% and Microsoft (y) is 70%. The volatilities, or measures of risk, for IBM and Microsoft are 35% and 30% respectively. The correlation between IBM and Microsoft, which measures how the two stocks move in relation to each other, is given as 0.5.

Given these values, we can use the portfolio standard deviation formula, which is represented as:

σp = sqrt[(x^2)*(σ1^2) + (y^2)*(σ2^2) + 2*x*y*corr(1,2)*σ1*σ2]

where σp is the portfolio standard deviation, x and y are the weights, σ1 and σ2 are the standard deviations (volatilities) of the two stocks, and corr(1,2) is the correlation between the two stocks.

You need to plug the given values for the weights, volatilities and correlation into the formula. Remember, when computing the result, the volatility values should be expressed in decimal form, i.e., 35% would be 0.35.

Final answer:

Silver Mining's installation of scrubbers on smokestacks at a new facility is an example of corporate environmental responsibility aimed at reducing air pollution.

Explanation:

When Silver Mining opens a new mineral extraction facility and voluntarily installs scrubbers on their smokestacks without a legal requirement, they are engaging in corporate environmental responsibility. Scrubbers are used to clean emissions such as SO₂, NOx, and particulate matter before they enter the atmosphere. This decision reflects a commitment to reducing air pollution and protecting both the environment and local population's health, which could also prevent future environmental damage and public health issues, such as those experienced in communities near mining operations, as described in the provided references.

Final answer:

Silver Mining's installation of scrubbers is a form of corporate environmental responsibility that exceeds legal requirements to reduce pollution from their new mineral extraction facility, showing commitment to protecting the environment and public health.

Explanation:

The decision by Silver Mining to install scrubbers on the smokestacks of their new mineral extraction facility, even when not legally required to do so, is an example of corporate environmental responsibility. This proactive step goes beyond compliance and demonstrates a commitment to reducing the environmental impact of their operations. Scrubbers are technologies that clean emissions such as sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and mercury from the smoke before it is released into the atmosphere. Power plants commonly use these devices to minimize air pollution. While other strategies may also achieve pollution reduction, such as switching to lower sulfur coal or using renewable energy, the installation of scrubbers is a direct method that addresses emissions at the source.

Environmental challenges associated with extractive industries, like mining, have historically led to significant health and environmental issues for local communities. These include air and water contamination from harmful chemicals and the degradation of land. Silver Mining's installation of scrubbers represents a trend where companies are recognizing the importance of not just meeting legal requirements, but also engaging in practices that safeguard the environment and public health.
