Mix Recording Studios purchased $7,800 in electronic components from TechCom. Mix Recording Studios signed a 60-day, 10% promissory note for $7,800. If the note is dishonored, what is the amount due on the note?
a. $130
b. $7,800
c. $7,930
d. $8,050
e. $8,130
Answer:
C) $7,930
Explanation:
The amount due on the note should equal the principal and the accrued interest of the note.
The principal (the amount borrowed) of the note is $7,800.
The accrued interest is: $7,800 x (2/12) x 10% = $130.
The total amount of the note = $7,800 + $130 = $7,930
Metro City Mall requires its tenants to sign a lease that includes a clause releasing Metro from liability in the event of monetary or physical injury no matter who is at fault. Coco’s Chocolate Creations signs a lease with the mall that contains the clause.
The clause is most likely:
a. enforceable as a matter of public policy
b. enforceable if either party is considered to be a business for essential services
c. enforceable if the lease also involves residential property
d. unenforceable
Answer:
D) unenforceable
Explanation:
This type of clause is an exculpatory clause since it tries to relieve Metro City Mall from any possible damages that occur during the lease time.
In order for an exculpatory clause to be enforceable, it must be reasonable. The fact that Metro City Mall wants to be released from liability no matter who is at fault, makes the clause unreasonable.
The clause in question is most likely unenforceable because it attempts to absolve Metro City Mall from liability for negligence, which is generally against public policy.
The clause releasing Metro City Mall from liability in the event of monetary or physical injury no matter who is at fault is most likely unenforceable. Generally, such clauses are seen as attempts to avoid responsibility for negligence, which can be against public policy, especially if they are overly broad or unconscionable. In most jurisdictions, a party cannot be relieved of liability for their own negligence, particularly in cases where there is a public interest involved, such as safety. These types of clauses are often scrutinized by courts and can be struck down if found to be excessive in diminishing the rights or protections of a contracting party.

Adhira buys chocolates and almonds. She has 3 bars of chocolates and 4 bags of almonds. The marginal utility of the third chocolate bar is 18 of marginal utility and the marginal utility from the fourth bag of almonds is also 18. Is Adhira maximizing her utility? A. Yes, the marginal utility from the last unit of each good is equal. B. No, she must cut back to 3 bags of almonds to equate her quantities of the two goods. C. No, she must buy 1 more chocolate bar to equate her quantities of the two goods. D. No, without information on her income and the prices of the two goods, we cannot answer the question.
Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
Adhira is purchasing two goods, chocolates and almonds.
She buys 3 bars of chocolates and 4 bags of almonds.
The marginal utility from the last bar of chocolate is 18.
The marginal utility from the last bag of almonds is also 18.
In order to maximize utility, the ratio of marginal utility and price for both the goods should be equal.
As we do not know the price of the two goods or Adhira's income we cannot find if the utility is being maximized or not.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. If Congress lowered corporate tax rates while other things were held constant, and if the Modigliani-Miller tax-adjusted theory of capital structure were correct, this would tend to cause corporations to decrease their use of debt.
b. A change in the personal tax rate should not affect firms' capital structure decisions.
c. "Business risk" is differentiated from "financial risk" by the fact that financial risk reflects only the use of debt, while business risk reflects both the use of debt and such factors as sales variability, cost variability, and operating leverage.
d.The optimal capital structure is the one that simultaneously (i) maximizes the price of the firm's stock, (ii) minimizes its WACC, and (iii) maximizes its EPS.
e. If changes in the bankruptcy code make bankruptcy less costly to corporations, then this would likely reduce the debt ratio of the average corporation.
Final answer:
The correct statement is that if Congress lowered corporate tax rates while other factors remain constant, corporations would likely decrease their use of debt according to the Modigliani-Miller tax-adjusted theory of capital structure.
Explanation:
The correct statement among the options provided is:
a. If Congress lowered corporate tax rates while other things were held constant, and if the Modigliani-Miller tax-adjusted theory of capital structure were correct, this would tend to cause corporations to decrease their use of debt.
The Modigliani-Miller theorem on capital structure suggests that under certain conditions, the value of a firm is not affected by whether it is financed by debt or equity. However, when taxes are introduced, the theorem is adjusted to reflect a tax benefit from interest payments.
Lower corporate taxes would reduce the tax shield benefit of debt financing, making debt less advantageous. This could lead firms to reduce their debt levels. On the other hand, personal taxes, business risks, and the effects of bankruptcy cost changes do not directly impact this specific aspect of capital structure decisions according to the Modigliani-Miller theorem.
Dobry Die & Mold, Inc., enters into a contract with Chet's Refitting Service to fix Dobry's precisely engineered molding equipment. If Chet's delays the repair for five days, knowing that Dobry will lose a certain percentage of profit for the delay, Dobry might be awarded consequential damages toa. establish, as a matter of principle, that Chet's acted wrongfully.b. provide Dobry with funds for a foreseeable loss beyond the contract.c. provide Dobry with funds for its loss of the bargain.d. punish Chet's and set an example to deter others from similar acts.
Answer:
I suppose that when Dobry and Chet's entered a contract there was a time set for the reparations to begin, maybe not to end the repairs since that may vary, but at least to start working on them and try to do it fast.
If Chet's delayed their work and did not start repairing Dobry's equipment on time (5 days), then Dobry should be able to sue for consequential damages in order to recover money due to a foreseeable loss beyond the contract. If Dobry cannot operate its equipment then it cannot produce, so it is Chet's fault that their production is halted.
"The correct answer is b. provide Dobry with funds for a foreseeable loss beyond the contract.
In contract law, consequential damages are designed to compensate a party for losses that are a foreseeable consequence of the breach, but not directly caused by the breach itself. In this scenario, Dobry Die Mold, Inc. has suffered a loss due to Chet's Refitting Service's delay in repairing the equipment. This delay has resulted in a loss of profit, which is a foreseeable consequence of the breach of contract by Chet's.
a. Consequential damages are not primarily awarded to establish that a party acted wrongfully; that is more in line with nominal damages or punitive damages. The focus of consequential damages is on compensating the non-breaching party for actual losses.
b. This is the correct rationale for consequential damages. They are meant to compensate the non-breaching party (Dobry) for losses that were foreseeable at the time the contract was made, which in this case includes the loss of profit due to the delay.
C. Providing funds for the loss of the bargain would be compensating Debry for the difference between the value of the promised performance and the value of the performance actually received. This is more in line with expectation damages, not consequential damages.
d. While punitive damages can be awarded to punish a wrongdoer and deter others, consequential damages are not punitive in nature. They are compensatory, aiming to make the non-breaching party whole for losses that were a foreseeable result of the breach.
Therefore, the most appropriate choice is option b, which correctly identifies the purpose of consequential damages as providing funds to Dobry for a foreseeable loss beyond the contract itself, such as the loss of profits due to the delay in repairing the equipment."
Average fixed costs______________.
A. will remain unchanged as output expands.
B. are defined as the change in total costs divided by the change in output.
C. will always increase as output increases.
D. will always decrease as output expands.
Answer:
D) Will always decrease as output expands
Explanation:
Average fixed costs are equal to fixed costs divided by output:
AFC = Fixed Costs / Output
If output increases, then average fixed costs will decrease, because the denominator of the formula will become larger. In other words, the same fixed costs will be enough to produce a higher amount of ouput.
Haley is a corporate certified public accountant (CPA) working on a new budget. When she lists the company’s liabilities, which of the following will she include? Entry field with incorrect answer Computer software Owners’ equity Marketable securities Employees’ wages and salaries
Answer:
None of the listed items would fall under the category of a liability
Explanation:
A liability is a present obligation that entails an outflow of economic resources (e.g cash) to settle. For an item to be classified as a liability it must relate to an event that had happened (i.e in the past) and not the future.
Computer software is likely an asset of a company. The payment for same, if not made already, can then be a liability.
Owners' equity is a contribution by the owner to further the business objectives.
Marketable securities are assets of the company, precisely current assets since it is assumed that they can be convertible to cash in a short while.
Employees' wages and salaries are expenses. It is only when they have not been paid as at when due i.e when the performance obligation has been satisfied (e.g workers have worked for a full month to which the salary relates) that it becomes a liability.

Tax returns filed manually have a 20% chance of containing errors. True or False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
According to the Internal Revenue Agency (IRS) up to 20% of all tax filings done manually contain errors, while only 0.05% of online tax filings contain errors. That is a huge difference. Some of the most common errors are due to erroneous mathematical calculations. That is why online filing helps a lot since the web services do all the math calculations for you.

The table describes Sergei's costs for his perfectly competitive all-natural ice cream firm.
Output Total Cost($)
0 10
1 60
2 80
3 110
4 170
5 245
1. If the market price of a tub of ice cream is $67.50, how many tubs of ice cream will Sergei's firm produce?
A) 1 B) 2 C) 3
2. If the market price of a tub of ice cream is $67,50, how much is Sergei's total revenue at the profit-maximizing output?
A) S270 B) $170 C) $135 D) $67.50
Answer:
It will produce 4 units which enerates a total revenue of 270 dollars
Explanation:
we have to check the marginal cost (cost of the addtional unit) and produce until this cost matches the marginal revenue (in this case selling price)
1st unit marginal cost: 60 - 10 = 50
2nd unit marginal cost: 80 - 60 = 20
3rd unit marginal cost: 110 - 80 = 30
4th unit marginal cost: 170 - 110 = 60
5th unit marginal cost: 245 - 170 = 75
It get's closer that the 4th units thus , the company will produce that many units.
Total revenue at profit-maximizing output:
4 units x $67.50 each = $270
Final answer:
Sergei's firm will not produce any tubs of ice cream at a market price of $67.50, and the total revenue at the profit-maximizing output is $0.
Explanation:
To find the answer to question 1, we need to determine the quantity of ice cream tubs that Sergei's firm will produce. We can do this by comparing the total cost with the market price.
From the table, we can see that the market price is $67.50. The total cost for each output level is: 10, 60, 80, 110, 170, 245 respectively.
As the total cost exceeds the market price for all output levels, Sergei's firm will NOT produce any tubs of ice cream.
To answer question 2, we need to calculate Sergei's total revenue at the profit-maximizing output. Given the market price of $67.50, we can multiply it by the profit-maximizing output to find the total revenue.
Since Sergei's firm does not produce any tubs of ice cream, the total revenue would be $0. Therefore, the correct answer is A) $270.
Katherine gives piano lessons for $20 per hour. She also grows flowers, which she arranges and sells at the local farmer’s market. One day she spends 5 hours planting $50 worth of seeds in her garden. Once the seeds have grown into flowers, she can sell them for $150 at the farmer’s market. Katherine’s accounting profits are___________
Katherine's accounting profit from her flower-selling business, when considering only explicit costs (money spent), is $100.
Explanation:The subject of this problem is calculating Katherine's accounting profits from her flower business. Accounting profit is calculated by subtracting total explicit costs (out-of-pocket expenses) from total revenues. In this case, Katherine has sold her flowers for $150 (total revenue) and spent $50 on seeds (explicit cost). So, her accounting profit can be calculated as follows: $150 (Total Revenue) - $50 (Explicit Cost) = $100. This does not take into account the time she spent planting the seeds, which can be considered an implicit cost (opportunity cost). If we include this implicit cost, assuming she could have been giving piano lessons and earning $20/hr for those 5 hours spent planting, which totals $100, then her economic profit would be $0. But, the question asked for the accounting profit, so the answer is $100.

Final answer:
Katherine’s accounting profits from her flower selling business are calculated by subtracting the explicit costs of the seeds ($50) from her total revenue ($150), resulting in $100.
Explanation:
To calculate Katherine’s accounting profits, we first need to account for her total revenues and then subtract her explicit costs. Katherine earned $150 from selling her flowers at the farmer’s market, which constitutes her total revenue. The explicit costs involved in this venture were the $50 spent on seeds. Additionally, if we consider the opportunity cost of her time, there would be another cost to include, considering Katherine could have earned $20 per hour giving piano lessons. Therefore, her opportunity costs for 5 hours would be $20/hour × 5 hours = $100. However, since the question specifically asks for the accounting profits, we do not consider her opportunity cost here.
The formula for accounting profit is:
Accounting Profit = Total Revenues - Explicit Costs
By plugging in the numbers we have:
Accounting Profit = $150 (revenues from flowers) - $50 (cost of seeds)
Accounting Profit = $100
Hence, Katherine's accounting profits from selling the flowers are $100.
When economists and policymakers refer to the Fed's dual mandate, they are referring to:
A. price stability and maximum employment.
B. price stability and moderate long-term interest rates.
C. price and exchange rate stability.
D. moderate long-term interest rates and maximum employment.

One way that criminal law differs from civil law is that it: provides remedies for violations of private rights. must yield a unanimous verdict. can have a jury of fewer than 12 persons. allows for various claims in one action.
Answer:
Criminal law "must must yield a unanimous verdict."

Civil law refers to a body of law protecting individual rights. It handles disagreement between people, or organizations.
Criminal law deals with crimes commited against the state or federal government by an individual who breaks a criminal law.

The production function for Country A exhibits constant returns to scale. Suppose that physical capital per worker, human capital per worker, and natural resources per worker all triple. At the same time, Country A's technological knowledge doubles. Productivity A. does not change. B. is now two times larger. C. is now three times larger. D. is now six ties larger
Answer:
D. is now six ties larger
Explanation:
The total change = change in inputs * change in technology
= 3*2
= 6 times
Therefore, The change is 6 times larger in production.
Final answer:
For Country A, exhibiting constant returns to scale, tripling all per worker inputs and doubling technological knowledge results in productivity being six times larger.
Explanation:
The student's question revolves around the concept of a production function and its returns to scale when inputs such as physical capital, human capital, natural resources, and technological knowledge are varied. Since Country A exhibits constant returns to scale, tripling the per worker inputs would naturally result in tripling the output. However, because the question also mentions that technological knowledge has doubled, this factor needs to be considered separately. Doubling of technology would double the productivity on its own.
Therefore, the combined effect of tripling inputs (given constant returns to scale) and doubling technological knowledge would be a six-fold increase in productivity. This aligns with the principle that in a production function with constant returns to scale, an increase in all inputs leads to a proportional increase in output. The answer is D. Productivity is now six times larger.
