Credit Other income/disposal account (p/l) $18,000
Being entries to derecognize the accumulated depreciation of the asset at the date of disposal,
Furthermore,
Debit Cash account $2,000
Credit Other income/disposal account (p/l) $2,000
Being entries to record cash collected on disposal of the asset
Explanation:
When the amount received from the disposal of an asset is higher than the carrying value of the asset, the company makes a gain on disposal. The proceed from the disposal of an asset may be recorded in the disposal or other income account.
On disposal, the carrying amount of the asset is derecognized by
Debit Other income/disposal account (p/l)
Credit Asset account
with the cost of the asset, then,
Debit Accumulated depreciation account
Credit Other income/disposal account (p/l)
With the accumulated depreciation of the asset at the date of disposal,
Furthermore,
Debit Cash account
Credit Other income/disposal account (p/l)
with the amount received from the disposal or sale of the asset
Final answer:
To record the sale of Patel Products, Inc.'s delivery van, a journal entry with a debit to 'Accumulated Depreciation' for $18,000 and a debit to 'Cash' for $2,000, along with a credit to 'Delivery Van' for $20,000, is required. There is no gain or loss as the sale proceeds match the book value of the van.
Explanation:
On December 29, 2019, Patel Products, Inc., completed the sale of a delivery van. The journal entry for this transaction involves several accounts. The van had an original cost of $20,000 and after updating for accumulated depreciation, it had a remaining book value of $2,000 ($20,000 cost - $18,000 accumulated depreciation). Patel Products received $2,000 in cash, which equals the remaining book value, indicating that there is no gain or loss on the sale.
The journal entry to record the sale is as follows:
Debit 'Accumulated Depreciation' for $18,000 to remove the accumulated depreciation against the asset.
Debit 'Cash' for $2,000 to record the receipt of cash from the sale.
Credit 'Delivery Van' (vehicle asset account) for $20,000 to remove the van from the company's asset records.
Since the cash received equals the remaining book value of the van, there is no additional debit for loss or credit for gain in this transaction.
The preparation of a bank reconciliation is an important cash control procedure. If a company deposits cash receipts daily and makes all cash disbursements by check, explain why the cash balance per books might not agree with the cash balance shown on the bank statement. Identify specific ex

Explanation:
Given that Boeing (a producer of jet aircraft), General Mills (a producer of breakfast cereals), and Wacky Jack's (which claims to be the largest U.S. provider of singing telegrams).
The firm, in the long run, is the longest for Boeing because aircraft production requires large, specialized machines and shortest for Wacky Jack's. The reason is that the provision of singing telegrams requires primarily labor.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer choice.
On April 30, 2017, Tilton Products purchased machinery for $88,000. The useful life of this machinery is estimated at 8 years, with an $8,000 residual value. Assume that in its financial statements, Tilton Products uses straight-line depreciation and rounds depreciation for fractional years to the nearest month. Depreciation expense recognized on this machinery in 2017 and 2018 will be:
Answer:
$6,666.67 and $10,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2017 and 2018 is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($88,000 - $8,000) ÷ (8 years)
= ($80,000) ÷ (8 years)
= $10,000
Since the machinery is purchased on April 30 and we assume the books are closed on December 31 so the number of months calculated is 8 months
Therefore for the year 2017 the depreciation expense is
= $10,000 × 8 months ÷ 12 months
= $6,666.67
And, for the year 2018 the depreciation expense is same i.e $10,000
The Depreciation expense recognized on this machinery in 2017 and 2018 will be: $6,667 ;$10,000.
Tilton Products Depreciation expense
2017 Depreciation expense=[($88,000 − $8,000)/8 ]×8/12
2017 Depreciation expense=($80,000/8)×8/12
2017 Depreciation expense= $10,000×8/12
2017 Depreciation expense= $6,667
2018 Depreciation expense=[($88,000 − $8,000)/8 ]
2018 Depreciation expense=($80,000/8)
2018 Depreciation expense= $10,000
Inconclusion the depreciation expense recognized on this machinery in 2017 and 2018 will be:$6,667 ; $10,000.

Characteristics of competitive markets
The model of competitive markets relies on these three core assumptions:
1. There must be many buyers and sellers a few players can't dominate the market.
2. Firms must produce an identical product buyers must regard all sellers' products as equivalent.
3. Firms and resources must be fully mobile, allowing for free entry into and exit from the industry.
The first two conditions imply that all consumers and firms are price takers. While the third is not necessary for price-taking behavior, assume for this problem that a market cannot maintain competition in the long run without free entry.
Identify whether or not each of the following scenarios describes a competitive market, along with the correct explanation of why or why not.

A. yes,meets all assumptions
B.no,no free entry
C.no, not many sellers
D.No, not an identical product
Answer:
Explanation:
First scenario: The answer is No, not many sellers. The drug of the pharmaceutical company has patent right and it is the only firm selling this product. This makes the company a monopolist (single seller)
Second scenario: No, not an identical product. Cable company and phone company produce different products. Cable companies majorly deal with television access.
Third Scenario: no, not many sellers. One firm is dominating the market and customers prefers this. Its product has been differentiated and it can charge its own price.
Fourth scenario: yes,meets all assumptions. The socks are identical and consumers do not care about the seller because the same utility will be derived from the socks.

Gross domestic product in Peru increased 4 percent from 2011 to 2012. D. The U.S. inflation rate was two percent in 2012.
Answer:
A. The price of cell phones decreased by 18 percent last year
Explanation:
Macro Economics is the study of economy at aggregate level, as a whole. It gives an overview top view of economy. So, Macro Economic statements are about the entire (whole) economy, at an aggregate level.
B] Stating about - aggregate worker productivity ; C] Stating about - Gross domestic product, being a national income estimate (depicting level of economic activity in the economy) ; D] Stating about - US inflation rate (depicting about general price level in the economy). These are all Macro Economic Statements.
However, A] The price of cell phones decreased by 18 percent last year : is just a statement of particular cell phones market. It is not about entire economy as a whole. So, it is not a macro economic statement
Lion Corp. has a $4,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 20 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 2.1 percent. What is the dollar price of the bond
Answer:
$5,627
Explanation:
Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. These cash flows include the coupon payment and the maturity payment of the bond. Both of these cash flows discounted and added to calculate the value of the bond.
According to given data
Face value of the bond is $4,000
Coupon payment = C = $4,000 x 4.6% = $184 annually = $92 semiannually
Number of periods = n = 20 years x 2 = 40 period
Market Rate = 2.1% annually = 1.05% semiannually
Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:
Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]
Price of the Bond = 92 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 1.05% )^-40 ) / 1.05% ] + [ $4,000 / ( 1 + 1.05% )^40 ]
Price of the Bond = $2,992.30 + $2,634.95
Price of the Bond = $5,627.25
Answer:
Price of the bond =$5626.2518
Explanation:
The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.
The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:
PV of interest payment + PV of redemption Value
Step 1
PV of interest payment
Interest payment =( 4.6%× $4000)/2
=$ 92
Semi annual yield = 2.1/2 = 1.05 %
PV of interest payment
= 92× (1-(1.0105)^(-20×2))/0.0105)
= 2992.30
Step 2
PV of redemption value
= 4,000 × (1+0.0105)^(-20×2)
= 2633.948
Step 3
Price of bond
= $12992.30+ $2633.94
=$5626.2518
Knowledge Check 01 During the current year, Armstrong Corporation reported net income of $18 million and EPS of $5.00 per share. The average number of common shares outstanding during the year was 3.6 million. The price of a share of its common stock was $2.50 at the beginning of the year and $5.00 at the end of the year. What is the company’s price/earnings (P/E) ratio at the end of the year?
Answer:
PE ratio is 1
Explanation:
Price earning ratio determines the ratio of price of a share by the earning per share . It measures the times value which a investor pays for each $1 earning of the shares.
To calculate the price earning ratio at the end of the year, we will use the price of the share at the end of the year.
Price Earning Ratio = Market Price / Earning Per share
Price Earning Ratio = $5 / $5
Price Earning Ratio = 1 times
Answer:
P/E = 1
Explanation:
The price earnings (P/E ) can be used to determine the value of a stock , The ratio relates the price of a stock to its earning. A stock with a higher P/R indicates a high potent for growth.
The price earning ratio is computed as follows:
P/E = price per share/EPS
P/E = 5/5 = 1
Currently, Warren Industries can sell 15-year, $1,000-par-value bonds paying annual interest at a 12% coupon rate. Because current market rates for similar bonds are just under 12%, Warren can sell its bonds for $1 comma 050 each; Warren will incur flotation costs of $20 per bond. The firm is in the 22% tax bracket.A. CalCulate the bond's yield to maturity (YTM) to estimate the before-tax and after- tax cost of debt.
B. Use the approximation formula to estimate the before-tax and after-tax costs of debt.
Answer:
11.57% and 9.02%
Explanation:
For computing the before-tax and after- tax cost of debt we use the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,050 - $20 = $1,030
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 12% = $120
NPER = 15 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 11.57%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 11.57% × ( 1 - 0.22)
= 9.02%
There is a 2 percent defect rate at a specific point in a production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the defects can be detected and eliminated. The inspector would cost $11 per hour and could inspect units in the process at the current production rate of 53 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $10 per defective unit to correct the defects later on. Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether the inspector is hired or not.
a. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
b. If an inspector is not hired, what will be the defective cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
c. Should an inspector be hired based on costs alone?
Final answer:
After calculating the costs, hiring an inspector results in a slightly higher per unit cost ($0.208) compared to allowing defects and correcting them later ($0.20 per unit). Nevertheless, the benefits of ensuring quality might outweigh these costs.
Explanation:
The questions deal with analyzing the cost-effectiveness of hiring an inspector in a production process with a 2% defect rate. To answer these, we consider the given defect rate, costs associated with hiring an inspector and correcting defects, and the production rate.
a. Inspection Cost Per Unit
The inspector costs $11 per hour and inspects 53 units per hour. Therefore, the inspection cost per unit is calculated as $11 divided by 53 units, resulting in approximately $0.208 per unit (rounded to three decimal places).
b. Defective Cost Per Unit
With a 2% defect rate and a $10 cost to correct each defect later, for every 100 units produced, we expect 2 defects. So, the cost per unit due to defects is (2 units * $10) / 100 units, which equals $0.20 per unit (rounded to three decimal places).
c. Should an Inspector be Hired Based on Costs Alone?
Comparing the two costs, the inspection cost per unit ($0.208) is slightly higher than the defective cost per unit ($0.20). However, the difference is minimal, and hiring an inspector might be beneficial considering potential savings in rework time and preservation of product quality and brand reputation, which are not captured in the immediate cost comparison.

Also depict the cumula-tive complaint line.b) What percent of the total complaints can be attributed to the most prevalent complaint?
Final answer:
To create a Pareto chart, arrange the complaints in descending order, calculate the cumulative total, and construct the chart with a cumulative complaint line. Approximately 38.89% of the total complaints can be attributed to ads being demeaning to women.
Explanation:
Pareto Chart Creation and Analysis
The avant-garde clothing manufacturer has collected statistics on the number of protest calls from viewers offended by their billboard ads. Here's how we can depict this data using a Pareto chart and calculate the percentage of the most prevalent complaint:
Firstly, arrange the complaints in descending order of frequency:
W (Demeaning to women) - 14 complaintsR (Offensive racially/ethnically) - 10 complaintsI (Ad is incomprehensible) - 6 complaintsM (Demeaning to men) - 4 complaintsO (Other) - 2 complaintsThen, calculate the cumulative number of complaints for each category as we move down the list.Construct the Pareto chart with the categories on the x-axis and the number of complaints on the y-axis. Bars representing the frequency of each complaint type will be shown in descending order.Add a cumulative complaint line that will show the running total of complaints.To find the percent of total complaints attributed to the most prevalent complaint (demeaning to women), use the following formula:
Percent = (Number of most prevalent complaints / Total number of complaints) x 100
In this case:
Total number of complaints = W + R + I + M + O = 14 + 10 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 36
Percent = (14 / 36) x 100 ≈ 38.89%
Therefore, approximately 38.89% of the total complaints can be attributed to ads being demeaning to women.
A stock market crash will cause Group of answer choices aggregate demand to decrease, which the Fed could offset by purchasing bonds. aggregate demand to decrease, which the Fed could offset by selling bonds. aggregate demand to increase, which the Fed could offset by selling bonds. aggregate demand to increase, which the Fed could offset by purchasing the money supply.
Answer:
A stock market crash will cause aggregate demand to decrease, which the Fed could offset by purchasing bonds.
Explanation:
A stock market crash happens when the prices of stocks fall generally and suddenly that investors are taken unawares. It triggers some reactions which further threatens the market overall and depresses aggregate demand. It also weakens investors' confidence, reduces productivity, consumption, and the ability of firms to fund their activities, and leads the economy to recession.
Stock market crashes are triggered by unexpected economic event, catastrophe, or crisis. For example, the collapse of Lehman brothers as a result of bankruptcy. They are further exacerbated by panic reactions, underlying economic underperformance, and investors' fear.
The Fed as the US central bank in charge of the monetary policy can try to stem the downward spiral caused by a stock market crash by purchasing bonds. This makes more money available in the economy for consumption.
Before the crash, the Fed can decide to bail out the institution, e.g. an airline or a financial institution, that could trigger a crash. But, most stock market crashes are not foreseen.

Government rules state that no bidder can receive more than 40% of the land being auctioned. Cliff has bid $1,000/acre for site 1 land and $2,000/acre for site 2 land. Blake has bid $900/acre for site 1 land and $2,200/acre for site 2 land. Alexis has bid $1,100/acre for site 1 land and $1,900/acre for site 2 land. Formulate a balanced Consider the following network. (a) Formulate a balanced transportation model to maximize the government's revenue. (b) Find an initial solution by using northwest corner method. (c) Use the transportation simplex method to find an optimal solution using the bfs found in part (b).
The can now solve this linear programming problem using optimization software or the transportation simplex method to find the optimal allocation of acres to maximize revenue while satisfying the constraints. The initial solution can be found using the northwest corner method.
To formulate a balanced transportation model to maximize the government's revenue for the oil lease auction scenario, we need to set up a transportation problem with supply, demand, and cost coefficients.
Let's define the variables:
- Xij represents the number of acres awarded to bidder i at site j.
- i can be Cliff (C), Blake (B), or Alexis (A).
- j can be Site 1 (S1) or Site 2 (S2).
We have the following information:
1. Site 1 has 100,000 acres of land, and Site 2 has 100,000 acres of land.
2. No bidder can receive more than 40% of the land being auctioned at each site.
3. Cliff, Blake, and Alexis have their respective bids per acre for each site.
Now, let's set up the objective function to maximize revenue:
Maximize Z = 1000(CS1 + CS2) + 2000(CS2 + BS2) + 900(BS1 + AS1) + 2200(AS2) + 1100(AS1) + 1900(AS2)
Subject to the following constraints:
1. Supply constraints (total land available at each site):
- CS1 + BS1 + AS1 = 100,000 acres at Site 1
- CS2 + BS2 + AS2 = 100,000 acres at Site 2
2. Demand constraints (bidders can't receive more than 40% of each site):
- CS1 + CS2 ≤ 0.4 * 100,000 acres at Site 1
- BS1 + BS2 ≤ 0.4 * 100,000 acres at Site 1
- AS1 + AS2 ≤ 0.4 * 100,000 acres at Site 1
- CS1 + CS2 ≤ 0.4 * 100,000 acres at Site 2
- BS1 + BS2 ≤ 0.4 * 100,000 acres at Site 2
- AS1 + AS2 ≤ 0.4 * 100,000 acres at Site 2
3. Non-negativity constraints:
- Xij ≥ 0 for all Xij

If a customer buys 100 preferred shares, converts, and then sells the common stock in the market, the profit or loss is (ignoring commissions):
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Amount paid by the customer for 100 preferred stock = 100 * $100 = $10,000
Number of preferred stock when converted to common stock = 100 * 2 = 200 shares
Revenue from selling the 200 shares = 200 * $50 = $10,000
Profit or loss to customer = Revenue from selling the 200 shares - Amount paid by the customer for 100 preferred stock = $10,000 - $10,000 = $0
Therefore, the customer made no profit nor loss.
Final answer:
There is no profit or loss when a customer buys 100 preferred shares at $100 each, converts them into 200 common shares, and sells the common stock at the market price of $50 per share, as the total amount received from selling the common stock equals the initial investment.
Explanation:
To determine the profit or loss when a customer buys 100 preferred shares, converts them, and then sells the common stock in the market, we need to follow these steps:
Firstly, the customer buys 100 preferred shares at $100 each. Since they are convertible into 2 shares of common stock per preferred share, after conversion, the customer would have 200 shares of common stock.
Next, the common stock is currently trading at $50 per share. If the customer sells all 200 shares of common stock at this market price, they would receive $10,000 (200 shares x $50/share).
The initial investment for the preferred shares was $10,000 (100 shares x $100/share). As the selling price of the common stock is also $10,000, once converted and sold, there is no profit or loss from this transaction (ignoring commissions and other possible fees).

The multiplier for a futures contract on a stock market index is $50. The maturity of the contract is 1 year, the current level of the index is 1,800, and the risk-free interest rate is 0.5% per month. The dividend yield on the index is 0.2% per month. Suppose that after 1 month, the stock index is at 1,820. a. Find the cash flow from the mark-to-market proceeds on the contract. Assume that the parity condition always holds exactly
Answer:Cash Flow mark to market proceeds = $754.45
Explanation:
given :
stock market index = $50
current stock index= 1800
risk free interest rate= 0.5%
dividend yield=0.2%
Contract=1 year=12 month
Solution
The Current Index value after 12 months ie for future price = Current Stock Index * (1 + Risk Free - Dividend Yield)^12
Current Index value after 12 months = 1800 * (1 + 0.50% - 0.20%)^12
Current Index value after 12 months = 1865.88
Also, Future Index value after 1 month = Future Stock Index * (1 + Risk Free - Dividend Yield)^12-1
Future Index value after 1 month= 1820 * (1 + 0.50% - 0.20%)^11
Future Index value after 1 month = 1880.97
Therefore, Cash Flow mark to market proceeds = (Future Index Future Value - Current Index Future value) * Multiplier which when variables are imputed gives us
Cash Flow mark to market proceeds = (1880.97 - 1865.88) * 50
Cash Flow mark to market proceeds = $754.45
Answer:
$754.5
Explanation:
Given that
S0 = 1800
Interest rate = 5% = 0.05
Dividend yield = 2% = 0.02
Recall that
The initial futures price is:
F0 = S0 (1 + rf - d)
Thus,
= 1800 x (1 + .005 - .002)12
= 1865.88
Again,
In one month, the futures price will be:
F0 = 1820x (1 + .005 - .002)11 = 1880.97
The increase in the futures price is 15.09, that is 1880.97 - 1865.88, so the cash flow will be:
15.0 x $ 50
= $754.5
You are considering buying common stock in Grow On, Inc. You have projected that the next dividend the company will pay will equal $3.90 and that dividends will grow at a rate of 6.0% per year thereafter. If you would want an annual return of 25.0% to invest in this stock, what is the most you should pay for the stock now?
Answer:
$20.52
Explanation:
Given that
Estimated dividends for next period = $3.90
Required rate of return = 25%
Growth rate = 6%
The computation of Price of stock is given below:-
Price of stock = Estimated dividends for next period ÷ (Required rate of return - Growth rate)
= $3.90 ÷ (0.25 - 0.06)
= $3.90 ÷ 0.19
= $20.52
Therefore for computing the price of stock we simply applied the above formula.

Barbara Bright is the purchasing agent for West Value Company. West Valve sells industrial values and fluid control devices. One of the most popular values is the Western, which has an annual demand of 4,000 units. The cost of each value is $90, and the inventory carrying cost is estimated to be 10% of the cost of each value. Barbara has made a study of the costs involved in placing an order for any of the values that West Valve stocks and she has concluded that the average ordering cost is $25 per order. Furthermore, it take about two weeks for an order to arrive from the supplier, and during this time the demand per week for West values is approximately 80.
a) What is the EOQ?
(b) What is the ROP?
Answer:
EOQ = 149.07 units
Re-order Point (ROP) = 160 units
Explanation:
The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size that minimizes the balance of ordering cost and holding cost. At the EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost.
It is computed using he formulae below
EOQ = √ (2× Co× D)/Ch
EOQ = √ (2× 25× 4000)/(10%× 90)
EOQ = 149.07 units
Re-order Point (ROP)
The level of stock at which are replenishment order will be placed
Maximum consumption × maximum lead time
= 80× 2 = 160 units
You are considering acquiring a common share of Sahali Shopping Center Corporation that you would like to hold for 1 year. You expect to receive both $1.35 in dividends and $45 from the sale of the share at the end of the year. The maximum price you would pay for a share today is __________ if you wanted to earn a 10% return.
Answer:
$42.13
Explanation:
HPR = [ Income + Vn - V0 ] / V0
Where
HPR = Holding Period Return = 10%
I = Income / Dividend = $1.35
Vn = Ending value of Investment = $45
V0 = Beginning Value of Investment = ?
Placing Value in the formula
10% = [ $1.34 + $45 - V0 ] / V0
0.1 V0 = $1.34 + $45 - V0
0.1V0 + V0 = $46.34
1.1V0 = $46.34
V0 = $46.34 / 1.1 = $42.13
The maximum price you would pay for a share today is $42.14 if you wanted to earn a 10% return.
Given that you want a 10% return, we need to calculate the present value of the expected future cash flows. You expect to receive $1.35 in dividends and a sale price of $45 at the end of the year.
Calculate the expected total future cash flows:Therefore, the maximum price you would be willing to pay for a share today, to achieve a 10% return, is $42.14.

Explanation:
A bakery makes a limited number of croissants each day for sale in its coffee shop. The croissants cost $1.00 each to produce and sell for $2.00 each. Leftover croissants are sold in the bakery the following day for $0.60 each, and all of those are sold
The excess cost is:
The shortage cost is:
The optimal service level is
Answer:
$0.40 ; $1 and $71.43%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Excess cost is
= Unit cost - Salvage Value
= $1 - $0.60
= $0.40
The shortage cost is
= Selling value - unit cost
= $2 - $1
= $1
And, the optimal service level is
= Shortage cost ÷ (Shortage cost + excess cost)
= $1 ÷ $1.60
= 71.43%
Basically we applied the above formulas
Joe Levi bought a home in Arlington, Texas, for $147,000. He put down 25% and obtained a mortgage for 30 years at 8.00%. What is the difference in interest cost if he had obtained a mortgage rate of 6.00%
To find the difference in interest cost, calculate the total amount of interest paid for each mortgage rate and subtract the interest paid at 6.00% from the interest paid at 8.00%. The difference in interest cost is $2,355.
Explanation:To find the difference in interest cost, we need to calculate the total amount of interest paid for each mortgage rate.
For the original mortgage at 8.00%, the amount of interest paid over 30 years can be found by subtracting the down payment from the total cost of the home and then calculating the interest on the remaining balance.
This can be done using the formula:
Interest = (Total Cost - Down Payment) * (Interest Rate / 100)
For the new mortgage at 6.00%, we can use the same formula to calculate the interest paid over 30 years.
Once we have the total interest paid for each mortgage rate, we can find the difference by subtracting the interest paid at 6.00% from the interest paid at 8.00%.
Let's calculate the difference in interest cost:
Original Mortgage:
Total Cost = $147,000
Down Payment = 25% of $147,000 = $36,750
Interest Rate = 8.00%
Interest = ($147,000 - $36,750) * (8.00 / 100) = $9,420
New Mortgage:
Total Cost = $147,000
Down Payment = 25% of $147,000 = $36,750
Interest Rate = 6.00%
Interest = ($147,000 - $36,750) * (6.00 / 100) = $7,065
Now, let's find the difference in interest cost:
Difference = $9,420 - $7,065 = $2,355
Therefore, the difference in interest cost is $2,355.
In your opinion, was it "unethical" for researchers to take (and profit from) Henrietta’s cells without her permission? Why? Why not? Should the Lacks family be given financial compensation in return for use of her cells? How would this financial compensation be determined? Who would pay?
Answer: its. Really unethical
Explanation:
Its very unethical for researchers to take and make profit from Henrietta's cell without her permission.
Because this is unwilling of her....and since the researchers has taken her cell sample already, and are already making profit from it
She and her family needs to be compensated, it might as well be said as the infringement of human right. This compensation can be determined by dividing the profits made by the researchers into half and given Henrietta and her family the other half..
Most like the research company or firm will pay the compensation and also the government.
Final answer:
The case of Henrietta Lacks raises ethical concerns about informed consent and financial compensation for the use of her HeLa cells in medical research. The cells, taken without permission, led to significant medical advancements, but her family has not profited financially. Compensation, if arranged, requires complex considerations and might involve multiple responsible entities.
Explanation:
The ethical dilemma posed by the case of Henrietta Lacks centers around the informed consent in medical research and the use of her cells without permission. Henrietta's unique cells, known as HeLa cells, taken during her treatment for cervical cancer, became vital to medical research, contributing to major discoveries, including the polio vaccine and advancements in cancer, AIDS, and COVID-19 research. Despite their wide commercial use, the Lacks family was not informed or compensated, raising issues of ethical responsibility, patient rights, and potential exploitation.
By today's standards, the lack of informed consent in Lacks's case is both unethical and illegal, raising the question of whether continued usage of her cells for research is ethical, particularly when obtained under now-defunct standards. The Lacks family was awarded control over the genetic sequence's publication in 2013, but questions remain, including whether Henrietta should be acknowledged as a contributor to research and if the Lacks family should receive financial compensation for the significant revenues generated from HeLa cells.
Determining the amount of financial compensation would be complex, involving factors such as the impact of HeLa cells on various medical advancements and the revenues earned specifically from their use. The responsibility for payment might involve a combination of institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and perhaps a dedicated fund to address historical ethical breaches in medical research.
A market is in long-run equilibrium and firms in this market have identical cost structures. Suppose demand in this market decreases. Which of the following are correct descriptions of what happens to the individual firms and the whole market as the market first leaves and then returns to long-run equilibrium?
Answer:
It will cause Market price to decrease in the short-run. There will be short-run decrease on Individual firms' profit-maximizing output .A good number of Firms will exit the market in the long run. Finally, market quantity will decrease in the long-run.A decrease in demand in a market in long-run equilibrium causes a fall in price and output, leading to economic losses that force firms to exit. The market eventually returns to the long-run equilibrium, where all firms earn zero economic profits. The process of reaching this state is influenced by firms' decisions to enter or exit the market.
Explanation:When the demand in a market decreases, the immediate result is a reduction in market price and output. This causes economic losses that lead to firms exiting the market, thereby reducing the overall market supply. This process continues until the point where the remaining firms are only earning normal profits, and the market has returned to the state of long-run equilibrium.
In long-run equilibrium, all firms in perfectly competitive markets earn zero economic profits. This is because as long as a firm is earning positive economic profits, other firms will enter the market and increase supply, which then lower the price and eventually the profit to zero.
Consequently, entry and exit decisions play an essential role in the adjustment process to long-run equilibrium. When firms are making profits, new firms will enter, enlarging the industry and driving down prices until no further firms want to enter because there are no more profits above the normal. Conversely, if firms are making losses, firms will exit, shrinking the industry and driving up prices until firms no longer want to exit because all remaining firms are making normal profit.
