Answer:
Milton should buy the company
Explanation:
Comparing the intrinsic value of the company in both scenarios using the Gordon Growth Model we get:
PV = [D0 * (1 + g)] / (r - g) where
D0 is current dividend
g = growth rate
r = required rate of return
Case 1 = current
PV = 1.7 * (1 + 0.05) / (0.11 - 0.05)
PV = 29.75
Case 2 = buying company
PV = 1.7 * ( 1 + 0.065) / ( 0.12 - 0.065)
PV = 32.92
The present value of the share when buying the company is higher than the current present value, therefore Milton should go ahead buying the company.
Milton Glasses should go ahead with the purchase of the new company.
Explanation:Milton Glasses is considering buying a new company that would increase its growth rate to 6.5% but also increase the required return to 12%. To determine whether or not Milton should proceed with the purchase, we need to compare the new required return with the expected return from the increased growth rate. The formula to calculate the expected return is the dividend divided by the required return minus the growth rate. In this case, the expected return with the new growth rate would be $1.70 / (0.12 - 0.065) = $34.
Since the expected return is higher than the price per share, it would be beneficial for Milton Glasses to go ahead with the purchase of the new company.
Swift Oil Company is considering investing in a new oil well. It is expected that the oil well will increase annual revenues by $130,000 and will increase annual expenses by $70,000 including depreciation. The oil well will cost $490,000 and will have a $10,000 salvage value at the end of its 10-year useful life. Calculate the annual rate of return. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.47.)
Answer: Annual rate of return = 24%.
Explanation:
Given that,
oil well will increase annual revenues by $130,000 and will increase annual expenses by $70,000 including depreciation
Cost of oil well = $490,000
$10,000 salvage value at the end of its 10-year useful life
Net Income = Annual revenue - annual expenses
= 130000 - 70000
= $60000
Average investment = [tex]\frac{490000+10000}{2}[/tex]
= $250000
∴ Annual rate of return = [tex]\frac{Net\ Income}{Average\ Investment} \times 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{60000}{250000} \times 100[/tex]
= 24%
The annual rate of return is calculated by dividing the average annual net income by the average investment. In this case, the result is 24.00%.
Explanation:To calculate the annual rate of return, you first need to compute the average annual net income and the average investment.
The average annual net income is equal to the increased annual revenues minus the increased annual expenses. In this case, $130,000 - $70,000 = $60,000.
The average investment is the sum of the cost of the oil well and its salvage value, divided by 2. Therefore, ($490,000 + $10,000) / 2 = $250,000.
The annual rate of return is then determined by taking the average annual net income $60,000 and dividing it by the average investment $250,000. Hence, $60,000 / $250,000 = 0.24 or 24.00% when expressed as a percentage.

Cameroon Corp. manufactures and sells electric staplers for $16 each. If 10,000 units were sold in December, and management forecasts 4% growth in sales each month, the dollar amount of electric stapler sales budgeted for February should be:Multiple Choice$179,978$166,400$173,056$160,000$187,177
Answer:
February sales = $173,056
Explanation:
units sold x sales price = sales revenue
10,000 x 16 = 160,000
Then we will apply the growth rate like compounding interest, because the growth accumulated over time:
[tex]December\:Sales * (1+ growth)^{time} = February\:Sales [/tex]
time will be how many months past from December to February.
[tex]160,000* (1.04)^{2} = February\:Sales [/tex]
February sales = 173056
John Jansen, an employee of Redwood Company, had gross earnings for the month of May of $4,000. FICA taxes are 7.65% of gross earnings (all earnings are subject), federal income taxes amount to $675 for the month, state income taxes are 3% of gross earnings, and Jansen authorized voluntary deductions of $5 per month to the United Way. What is the net pay for John Jansen?
Answer:
The net pay for John Jansen is $2894
Explanation:
For calculating the net pay for John Jansen we have to subtract all the FICA taxes and federal income taxes and also state income taxes, with authorized voluntary deductions also being subtracted from the gross earnings .
Given information - Gross earning = $4000
FICA taxes = 7.65%
Federal income taxes = $675
State income taxes = 3%
Authorized voluntary deductions = $5
One important to remember here is that FICA taxes and State taxes would be calculated on the gross earnings of John
FICA taxes = 7.65% of $4000
= .0765 x $4000
= $306
State taxes = 3% of $4000
= .03 x $4000
= $120
NET PAY = gross earnings - FICA tax - state tax - federal income tax -
authorized voluntary deduction
= $4000 - $306 - $120 - $675 - $5
= $2894
Blue Co. has a patent on a communication process. The company has amortized the patent on a straight-line basis since 2014, when it was acquired at a cost of $44 million at the beginning of that year. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost. The decision was made at the end of 2018 (before adjusting and closing entries). What is the appropriate patent amortization expense in 2018? (Do not round your intermediate calculation.)
Answer:
Amortization Expense in 2018 = $17,111,111.11
Explanation:
In the year 2014 the patent was acquired at a cost of $44 million = $44,000,000
Total expected period at the time of acquisition = 9 years
Per year cost of amortization = $44,000,000/9 = $4,888,888.88
At the end of 2018 revised life = 6 years
Amortization for 4 complete years have been charged = $4,888,888.88 X 4 = $19,555,555.55
Amortization per year in case of life of 6 years = $44,000,000/6 = $7,333,333.33
Amortization in 4 years based on above = $29,333,333.33
Amortization actually done = $19,555,555.55
Amount to be amortized = ($44,000,000 - $29,333,333.33) + ($29,333,333.33 - $19,555,555.55)
= $14,666,666.66 + $9,777,777.77 = $24,444,444.43
Now up till 2018 total value that should have been amortized based on 6 years life = ($44,000,000/6) X 5 = $36,666,666.66
So therefore Amortization in the year 2018 as it is 5th year = $36,666,666.66 - $19,555,555.55
= $17,111,111.11
If you were a politician, why would you find it difficult to remove a binding price ceiling? because it greatly benefits firms, and they would spend a lot of money to lobby against the law’s repeal because it greatly benefits government, which receives additional tax revenue as a result because it greatly benefits all consumers, and they are also voters because it greatly benefits some consumers who are also voters because it greatly benefits society as a whole, with all consumers able to buy as much as firms produce
Answer:
The correct answer is: because it benefits some consumers who are voters.
Explanation:
A politician will be concerned about his votes. He accordingly will make policies to appease voters.
A price ceiling keeps price level from rising beyond a certain limit, thus consumers will be able to consume at lower prices.
Removal of price ceiling may hurt these consumers as they will need to pay higher prices.
These consumers are also voters and politician do not want them to be favored by them.
So, the politician will find it difficult to remove a binding price ceiling.

Answer:
The correct option here is B) currently working or who would like to work and are actively trying to find a job.
Explanation:
In the labor force calculation both the employed and unemployed people are included, while any full time student , retired person , stay home parents , those who are not looking work or choosing not to work are not included in the calculation of labor force.
Option B is the best option here as it includes both employed and unemployed people, with also the ones who are looking for job.
Newship Inc. has borrowed from its bank at a rate of 8 percent and will repay the loan with interest over the next five years. Its scheduled payments, starting at the end of the year are as follows—$450,000, $560,000, $750,000, $875,000, and $1,000,000. What is the present value of these payments?
To find the present value of the scheduled payments, we need to discount each payment back to its present value using the appropriate interest rate.
Explanation:To find the present value of the scheduled payments, we need to discount each payment back to its present value using the appropriate interest rate. The formula used to calculate present value is:
Present Value = Payment / (1 + Interest Rate)^n
Where Payment is the future payment amount, Interest Rate is the discount rate, and n is the number of periods from now until the payment is received.
Using this formula, we can calculate the present value of each payment and sum them up to find the total present value.
For example, for the first payment of $450,000 at the end of the year, the present value would be:
Present Value = $450,000 / (1 + 0.08)^1 = $450,000 / 1.08 = $416,666.67
Repeat this process for the remaining payments and add up the present values to find the total present value of the payments.
In a given year, a country's GDP = $9841, net factor payments from abroad = $889, taxes = $869, transfers received from the government = $296, interest payments on the government's debt = $103, consumption = $8148, and government purchases = $185. The country had private saving equal to
Answer:
PRIVATE SAVING 1120
Explanation:
Income + goverment transfer - taxes = Disposable Income
Then this Income can be used for consumption or saved.
Disposable income = C + S_p
clearing S_p
(Y+transfer - T) - C = PRIVATE SAVING
(9841+296-869)-8148 = PRIVATE SAVING
PRIVATE SAVING 1120
Final answer:
To find the private saving, we use the national income identity to solve for investment (saving). After substituting the given values into the equation, the private saving for the country is determined to be $1,038.
Explanation:
The problem provided asks us to determine the private saving of a country in a given year, based on various economic indicators. To find private saving, we can follow the national income identity: GDP = C + I + G + NX, where C is consumption, I is investment, G is government purchases, and NX is net exports. However, the missing component here is investment, which we can solve for through another identity: GDP = C + G + Nx + I + (Taxes - Transfers - Interest Payments), rearranging for I (private saving) yields I = GDP - C - G + (Transfers + Interest Payments - Taxes).
Substituting the given values into our equation:
GDP = $9,841
Consumption (C) = $8,148
Government Purchases (G) = $185
Transfers Received = $296
Interest Payments on Government's Debt = $103
Taxes = $869
Private Saving (I) = $9,841 - $8,148 - $185 + ($296 + $103 - $869)
Private Saving (I) = $9,841 - $8,148 - $185 + $296 + $103 - $869
Private Saving (I) = $1,038
Therefore, the private saving for the country in that given year is $1,038.

Poland requires 4 hours of labor to produce 1 ton of coal and 1 hour of labor to produce a bushel of wheat. The Czech Republic requires 6 hours of labor to produce 1 ton of coal and 1 hour of labor to produce a bushel of wheat. Suppose that Poland has 1,000 hours of labor and that it completely specializes according to its comparative advantage. How many units of which product will it produce?
Answer:
Poland has comparative advantage in producing coal , so they will produce 250 tons of coal.
Explanation:
Here for understanding which product should Poland specialize in according to its comparative advantage depends up on the opportunity cost for producing for 1 ton coal . According to the question both Poland and Czech republic can produce a bushel of wheat in 1 hour but the difference comes in the production of coal where Poland takes 4 hour to make 1 ton of coal and Czech republic takes 6 hours to make 1 ton of coal, so from this statement we can take out what is the opportunity cost for producing 1 ton of coal for both countries.
FOR POLAND
Opportunity cost of producing 1 ton of coal = 4 bushes
FOR CZECH REPUBLIC
Opportunity cost of producing 1 ton of coal = 6 bushes
So it is clear that for Poland the opportunity cost for producing 1 ton of coal is less, so they should specialize in producing coal and in 1000 hours they can produce 250 tons of coal.
Saran Company has contacted Crane with an offer to sell it 5,100 of the wickets for $16 each. If Crane makes the wickets, variable costs are $14 per unit. Fixed costs are $8 per unit; however, $5 per unit is unavoidable. Should Crane make or buy the wickets?
Answer:Crane should buy the wicket as it result in saving of $ 1100
Explanation:
Given:
Quantity = 5,100
Price = $16
Variable cost = $14 per unit
Fixed costs = $8 per unit
Buying Cost = 5100 * 16 = $ 81,600
Making Cost = Variable Costs + Avoidable Fixed Costs
Making Cost = 14 * 5100 + (8 - 5) * 5100 = $ 86,700
Crane should buy the wicket as it result in saving of $ 1100 ($86,700 - $81,600).
When comparing the costs of making versus buying the wickets, it's cheaper for Crane to buy the wickets from Saran Company by $1 per unit after considering avoidable costs. This decision is based on cost analysis in production.
Explanation:To make a decision on whether Crane should make or buy the wickets, we must compare the costs associated with each. To buy the wickets from Saran Company, Crane would pay $16 per wicket. To make the wickets themselves, variable costs are $14 per unit, and fixed costs are $8 per unit, though $5 of these fixed costs are unavoidable. Therefore, the total cost per unit to make the wickets is $14 (variable) + $3 (avoidable fixed) = $17.
Given these costs, it is cheaper by $1 per wicket for Crane to buy the wickets from Saran Company rather than making them internally. The calculation we performed is a basic example of cost analysis in production decisions. Under these circumstances, it would be more cost-effective for Crane Company to buy the wickets rather than making them.

Marigold Corporation bought equipment on January 1, 2021. The equipment cost $348000 and had an expected salvage value of $59100. The life of the equipment was estimated to be 6 years. Assuming straight-line deprecation, the book value of the equipment at the beginning of the third year would be:
Answer:
Book Value At the begining of the third year= 251,700
Explanation:
[tex]\frac{Adquisition Value - SalvageValue}{YearsOfUsefulLife} = $Depreciation per Year[/tex]
348,000- 59,100 = 288,900 = amount subject to depreciation
288,900/6 = 48,150 depreication per year
At the beginning of the third year the equipment will have 2 depreciation
(end of first year and end of second year)
accumulated depreciation = 48,150 * 2 = 96,300
Book Value = Adquisition Value - Accumulated depreciation
Book Value = 348,000 - 96,300 = 251,700

Windsor, Inc. applied FIFO to its inventory and got the following results for its ending inventory. Cameras 106 units at a cost per unit of $64 Blu-ray players 167 units at a cost per unit of $78 iPods 137 units at a cost per unit of $90 The net realizable value of each of these products at year-end was cameras $76, Blu-ray players $54, and iPods $72. Determine the amount of ending inventory at lower-of-cost-or-net realizable value.
Answer:
Total Value of ending inventory = $25,666
Explanation:
Provided
Item Cost of Inventory Net Realizable Value Rate Qty. Value
Cameras $64 $76 $64 106 $6,784
Blu-ray $78 $54 $54 167 $9,018
i-Pods $90 $72 $72 137 $9,864
Total Value of ending inventory = $6,784 + $9,018 + $9,864 = $25,666
Under lower of cost or net realizable value each item is considered separately and then cost is allocated accordingly.
Therefore for Cameras we have taken Cost as it is less than NRV
For Blu-ray Players NRV is less than cost, thus NRV is considered.
For i-Pods NRV is less than cost, thus NRV is considered.
Total Value of ending inventory = $25,666
Final answer:
Windsor, Inc.'s ending inventory at lower-of-cost-or-net realizable value is calculated by comparing the cost and net realizable value of the cameras, Blu-ray players, and iPods. The total LCNRV ending inventory comes to $25,666, using the cost for cameras and the net realizable value for Blu-ray players and iPods.
Explanation:
Windsor, Inc. needs to determine the amount of ending inventory at lower-of-cost-or-net realizable value (LCNRV) for three types of products: cameras, Blu-ray players, and iPods. The LCNRV rule is an inventory valuation method which states that inventory should be recorded at the lower of either its historical cost or its net realizable value—the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business minus reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Since Windsor, Inc. applies FIFO (First In, First Out) to its inventory, the costs per unit provided are based on the costs of the oldest inventory items. We will assess each item separately to apply the LCNRV rule.
Cameras:
106 units × $64 (cost per unit) = $6,784
Since the net realizable value ($76) is greater than the cost ($64), we use the cost for valuation: $6,784.
Blu-ray players:
167 units × $78 (cost per unit) = $13,026
Net realizable value ($54) is less than the cost ($78), so we use the net realizable value for valuation: 167 units × $54 = $9,018.
iPods:
137 units × $90 (cost per unit) = $12,330
Net realizable value ($72) is less than the cost ($90), so we use the net realizable value for valuation: 137 units × $72 = $9,864.
To calculate the total ending inventory at LCNRV, we add the values obtained for each product: $6,784 (cameras) + $9,018 (Blu-ray players) + $9,864 (iPods) = $25,666.
For Flynn Company, variable costs are 60% of sales, and fixed costs are $177,600. Management’s net income goal is $68,520. Compute the required sales in dollars needed to achieve management’s target net income of $68,520. (Use the contribution margin approach
Answer:
The required sales in dollars are $615,300.
Explanation:
Variable costs increase and decrease with sales, if your sales rise, the variable costs will rise too. Yet, the contribution marginal remains equal. It is calculated as [tex](Sales - Variable.costs)/Sales[/tex]. Another form to express that equation is [tex]Sales/Sales - Variable.costs/Sales[/tex]. Sales/sales is equal to 1, and variable costs/sales is 0.60. So, the contribution margin is equal to 40%, or $0.4 per each dollar of sales.
Then, in order to calculate how much sales you need to pay the fixed costs, you need this equation [tex]177,600/0,4 = 444,000[/tex]. That means that you need $444,000 of sales to cover the fixed costs.
The same calculation is used to obtain the sales needed to achieve the target net income: [tex]68,520/0,4 = 171,300[/tex].
If you add the two results, then you obtain that you need [tex]444,000 + 171,300 = 615,000[/tex] dollars of sales to achieve the target net income of $68,520.
The sales that would be needed to achieve net income or profit of $68,520 is $615,300.
What is contribution margin approach?A contribution margin approach is used to calculate the percentage of contribution margin on sales and can be used to compute sales. The contribution margin can be calculated as:
[tex]\rm Contribution\:margin = Sales - Variable\:cost[/tex]
The percentage of contribution margin can be calculated as:
[tex]\rm Percentage\:of\:contribution\:margin = \dfrac{Contribution\:margin}{Sales}\times 100[/tex]
The sales required to earn a specific contribution margin can be calculated as:
[tex]\rm Sales = \dfrac{Fixed \:cost +Net \:income}{Contribution\:margin \:\%}[/tex]
Given:
Desired net income is $68,520.
Fixed costs are $177,600.
Variable costs are 60% of sales.
Therefore the contribution margins are 40%.
The sales to reach the targeted net income will be:
[tex]\rm Sales = \dfrac{Fixed \:cost +Net \:income}{Contribution\:margin \:\%}\\\\\rm Sales = \dfrac{\$177,600 +\$68,520}{40\%}\\\\\rm Sales = \dfrac{\$246,120}{40\%}\\\\\rm Sales = \$615,300[/tex]
Therefore the sales will be $615,300.

Explanation:
Whenever there are Preferred shares, then whenever the dividend is declared firstly it is paid to Preferred stock holders.
Also amount of dividend shall be at the rate specified.
In the given case amount of dividend distributed is $20,000.
Rate of preferred stock = 4%
Dividend for preferred stock = 10,000 [tex]\times[/tex] $20 = $200,000 [tex]\times[/tex] 4% = $8,000
Now provided dividend paid to preferred stock of $4,000 in year 2016
Therefore $4,000 will have to be paid in current year.
Total dividend to be paid to preferred stock = $8,000 + $4,000 = $12,000
Note: In case of non cumulative shares dividend to preference stock is paid in priority and full, it cannot be less than the rate prescribed.
Total dividend to be paid to preferred stock = $8,000 + $4,000 = $12,000
Bateman Corporation sold an office building that it used in its business for $800,950. Bateman bought the building ten years ago for $599,525 and has claimed $201,425 of depreciation expense. What is the amount and character of Bateman's gain or loss?
Answer:
The amount of Bateman's gain is $402,850, in character of profits from the sale of property and equipment
Explanation:
The gain of selling an asset is determined by the formula: Sale price minus Book value. The book value of the building is Cost minus accumulated depreciation. So, the book value is [tex]599,525 - 201,425 = 398,100[/tex]
Then, the amount of Bateman's gain is equal to [tex]800,950 - 398,100 = 402,850[/tex].
Bateman Corporation has a gain of $402,850 on the sale of its office building. This gain is considered a Section 1231 gain, which is usually taxed at lower capital gains tax rates.
Explanation:To understand the amount and character of Bateman's gain or loss, we need to calculate the adjusted basis of the property, which is original cost less depreciation, and then compare this with the selling price. In Bateman's case, the company bought the property for $599,525 and has claimed $201,425 in depreciation.
Thus, the adjusted basis of the property is $599,525 - $201,425, which equals $398,100.
Bateman then sold this property for $800,950. To calculate the gain or loss, we subtract the adjusted basis ($398,100) from the selling price ($800,950). This gives us $800,950 - $398,100 = $402,850.
Therefore, Bateman Corporation has a gain of $402,850 on the sale of the office building. Since this property was used in the business, the gain is considered a Section 1231 gain, which is generally taxed at favorable capital gains tax rates.

A profit Maring of 17.16% would be needed to achieve the target ROE of 20% if everything else holds constant
Explanation:
Return on Equity is the percent of net income achieve per dollar of equity
It is used to check the management of capital investment. (We give you this much, you generate that)
[tex]\frac{Net Income}{Average Equity} = ROE[/tex]
Where Average Equity:
[tex]$$(Beginning Equity + Ending Equity) / 2[/tex]
In this case we have no information about beginning or ending so we go with the vlue provided for Equity: $875,000
Now we can see how much the net income needs to be to achieve 20% ROE
[tex]\frac{Net Income}{875,000} = 0.20[/tex]
Net Income = 175,000
Now, which is the profit margin that generates this net income:
[tex]\frac{Net Income}{Sales Revenue} = $Profit Margin[/tex]
This represents the percentage of sales which turned into profits. It can be interpreted as:
cents of net income per dollar of sale.
Having our target net income, and holding the sales constant we need a profit margin of:
[tex]175,000/1,020,000 = 0.171568[/tex]
A profit Maring of 17.16% would be needed to achieve the target ROE of 20%
As the result of an increase in capital the demand for labor would_______, the supply of labor would ________, and the quantity of laborhired would __________.a. increase, increase, increaseb. increase, remain the same, increasec. increase, remain the same, decreased. increase, decrease, remain the samee. decrease, decrease, decrease
Answer:
The correct answer here is option b.
Explanation:
When here is an increase in capital, the firm would like to produce more. So, the demand for labor would increase. Though the supply of labor would remain the same as it is not affected by the change in capital.
With the shift in the demand curve, the quantity of labor hired would increase as well. With no change in labor supply, the wage rate will increase as well.
Given the following cost and activity observations for Bounty Company's utilities, use the high-low method to calculate Bounty' variable utilities costs per machine hour. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Cost Machine Hours March $3,100 15,000 April 2,700 10,000 May 2,900 12,000 June 3,600 18,000 a. $0.67 b. $10.00 c. $0.63 d. $0.11
Answer:
The option d is correct.
Explanation:
The high low method shows the difference between the high and low cost of a particular thing. In the given question, the high cost is $3,600 and the low cost is $2,700 whereas the high machine hour is 18000 and low machine hour is 10,000.
Now, the formula for high low method is calculated. It is shown below:
High low method = (High cost - Low cost) ÷ (High machine hours - Low machine hours)
= ($3,600 - $2,700) ÷ (18000 - 10,000)
= 900 ÷ 8000
= 0.11
Thus, the option d is correct.
The variable utilities cost per machine hour for Bounty Company is approximately $0.15 per machine hour using the high-low method in cost accounting. This is determined by considering the highest and lowest cost levels and applying the formula for variable cost per unit. The closest approximation in the options given is $0.11 per machine hour.
Explanation:The high-low method is used in cost accounting to calculate variable cost rate and fixed costs. It involves using the highest and lowest cost levels to estimate the fixed and variable components of a total cost formula. To achieve this, consider the most and the least active months. In our case, these are June (18,000 machine hours, $3,600 cost) and April (10,000 machine hours, $2,700 cost).
The formula used for variable cost per unit is:
Variable Cost per Unit = (Cost at high activity level - Cost at low activity level) / (High activity level - Low activity level)
Substituting in our values, the variable cost per machine hour would be:
(3,600 - 2,700)/(18,000 - 10,000) = $0.15
Hence, the variable utilities cost per machine hour, using the high-low method, for Bounty Company comes out as $0.15 per machine hour. But, this answer is not in the given options, so let's check for a mistake. Indeed, it appears to be a rounding error in the given options. The closest option is option (d) $0.11 per machine hour, but this is an approximation of the actual value obtained.

A study has been made concerning whether Product X should be discontinued. The study shows that $74,000 of the $105,000 in monthly fixed expenses charged to Product X would not be avoidable even if the product was discontinued. If Product X is discontinued, the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company of eliminating this product should be:
Answer:
The loss if discontinued will be 74,000
If keeps production it will lose 12,000
It will lose 62,000 more if discontinues
It is a disadvantage to eliminate this product.
Explanation:
units of X 15,500
unit sales price 25

Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transactions and production for that nation. Which of the following scenarios are either not accounted for or measured inaccurately by either the income or the expenditure methods of calculating GDP for the United States? Check all that apply.
The leisure time enjoyed by households
The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government
Expenditures on federal highways
The loss of enjoyment people incur when scenic land is converted to commercial use
When a U.S. company purchases and imports automotive parts from Canada to use to build cars within the United States
Answer:
The correct answer is option : 1,2,4, and 5.
Explanation:
The leisure time enjoyed is not included in the GDP as it can not be expressed in monetary terms.
The value of babysitting will not be included as this transaction is not reported and thus not included in official accounts.
The loss of enjoyment people incur because of loss of scenic land will not be included as it can not be expressed in monetary terms.
The automotive parts are not final goods, they are intermediary goods and thus will not be included in GDP.
A random sample of 160 households is selected to estimate the mean amount spent on electric service. A 95% confidence interval was determined from the sample results to be ($151, $216). Which of the following is the correct interpretation of this interval?
A We are 95% confident that the mean amount spent on electric service among all households is between $151 and $216.
B There is a 95% chance that the mean amount spent on electric service is between $151 and $216.
C 95% of the households will have an electric bill between $151 and $216.
D We are 95% confident that the mean amount spent on electric service among the 160 households is between $15
Final answer:
The correct interpretation is that we are 95% confident the mean amount spent on electric service for all households falls between $151 and $216.
Explanation:
Option A is the correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval from a statistical standpoint: We are 95% confident that the mean amount spent on electric service among all households is between $151 and $216. This means that if we were to take many random samples and compute the confidence interval for each one, we expect that 95% of those intervals would contain the population mean of the electric service costs. Option B is incorrect because the confidence interval does not imply a probability about the mean itself. Option C is incorrect because the interval relates to the mean amount spent, not individual household bills. Option D is incorrect as it refers to the sampled households instead of all households.

The interest revenue that Rosewood Company would report during the years ending December 31, Year 1 and Year 2 is $387 and $516 respectively.
Explanation:The subject of this question is the calculation of interest revenue for a loan. The Rosewood Company made a loan of $8,600 to an employee on April 1 in Year 1 with a 6% interest rate. Interest for a period is calculated by multiplying the principal amount by the interest rate and the time the money is lent. Hence, for Year 1, the interest period is from April 1 to December 31 (9 months or 0.75 years). So, the interest for Year 1 is $8600 * 6/100 * 0.75 = $387. For Year 2, the interest period is for the entire year. Therefore, the interest revenue for Year 2 is $8600 * 6/100 * 1 = $516. In conclusion, Rosewood will report an interest revenue of $387 for Year 1 and $516 for Year 2.
