Tariff effects: An overview
Consider two hypothetical countries, Alagir and Ertil. Both countries produce iGadgets, and the price of iGadgets is lower in Alagir than in Ertil. If Alagir and Ertil open to trade, producers in would be more likely to lobby their government for an import tariff on iGadgets in order to protect themselves from foreign competition.
Which of the following statements about the effects of the tariff compared to free trade are correct?
A. In Alagir, workers in iGadget importing companies lose their jobs.
B. In Ertil, some workers at retail and shipping companies that import iGadgets lose their jobs.
C. In Ertil, consumers pay more for the domestic iGadgets.
D. In Ertil, workers in iGadget importing companies see more jobs available to them.
E. In Ertil, producers of iGadgets are willing to expand output.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. If Alagir and Ertil open to trade, producers in Ertil would be more likely to lobby their government for an import tariff on iGadgets in order to protect themselves from foreign competition.

Producers in Ertil would be at a disadvantage because people in Ertil would simply buy the lower priced iGadgets from Alagir so the producers in Ertil would lobby their Government for tariffs to protect them.

2.

B. In Ertil, some workers at retail and shipping companies that import iGadgets lose their jobs.

If an import tariff is imposed, people will find the goods from Alagir more expensive and so will import less. The companies who did the shipping and retail of the goods from Alagir would have to let go of some people to save costs or because they would close down.

C. In Ertil, consumers pay more for the domestic iGadgets.

With tariffs to protect them, the domestic producers in Ertil can charge higher prices.

E. In Ertil, producers of iGadgets are willing to expand output.

With the tariff protecting them, the producers will be willing to expand output so that they can sell more iGadgets at the new higher price.

France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than __________of rye for each bottle of wine it exports to Austria. Similarly, Austria can gain from trade as long as it receives more than __________of wine for each bushel of rye it exports to France.

Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of wine in terms of rye) would allow both Austria and France to gain from trade?

a. 7 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
b. 4 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
c. 1 bushel of rye per bottle of wine
d. 11 bushels of rye per bottle of wine

Answers

Answer:

France has comparative advantage in production of wine

Austria has comparative advantage in production of rye.

4 bushels of rye for each bottle of wine

1 bottle of wine for each bushel.

b. 4 bushel of rye per bottle of wine.

Explanation:

France has comparative advantage in producing wine as it has opportunity cost of 4 bushels per bottle of wine. Austria has comparative advantage in producing bushels as it has opportunity cost of 10 bushels per bottle of wine. The both countries can gain advantage if they agree for 4 bushels per wine.

Snoblo, a manufacturer of snowblowers, sells four models. The base model, Reguplo, has demand that is normally distributed, with a mean of 10,000 and a stand deviation of 1,000. The three other models have additional features, and each has demand that is normally distributed, with a mean of 1,000 and a standard deviation of 700. Currently all four models are manufactured on the same line at a cost of $100 for Reguplo and $110 for each of the other three models. Reguplo sells for $200, whereas each of the other three models sells for $220. Any unsold blowers are sold at the end of the season for $80. Snoblo is considering the use of tailored sourcing by setting up two separate lines, one for Reguplo and one for the other three. Given that no changeovers will be required on the Reguplo line, the production cost of Reguplo is expected to decline to $90. The production cost of the other three products, however, will now increase to $120.

Required:
a. How will tailored sourcing affect the production and profits?
b. Is tailored sourcing more profitable for Snoblo? Why?

B)

A-1

78,400,000 + 26,667 = 78,426,667

A-2

80,800,000 - 13,333 = 80,786,667

C)

the effective interest rate is higher under A-1 as the company is paying the same nominal amount of $4,000,000 every six months but, received less cash for the bonds in A-1 case making the effective rate higher .

Explanation:

A-1 issued at 98 points

cash received:

80,000,000 x 98/100 = 78,400,000

discount on bonds: 80,000,000 - 78,400,000 = 1,600,000

On Dec 31st we solve for accrued discoutn and interest:

amortization

1,600,000 / 40 payment = 40,000 per payment

proportional amortization: 40,000 x 4/6 (month accrued) = 26,667

interest paid

principal x rate x time

80,000,000 x 10% x 4/12 = 2,666,667

payment:

8,000,000 x 10% x 6/12 = 4,000,000

proportional amortization: 40,000 x 2/6 (month accrued) = 13,333

accrued interest 8,000,000 x 10% x 2/12 = 1,333,333

A-2  we issue a 101 point

cash received:

80,000,000 x 101/100 = 80,800,000

premuim on bonds: 800,000

On Dec 31st we solve for accrued discount and interest:

amortization

800,000 / 40 payment = 20,000 per payment

proportional amortization: 20,000 x 4/6 (month accrued) = 13,333

interest paid

principal x rate x time

80,000,000 x 10% x 4/12 = 2,666,667

payment:

8,000,000 x 10% x 6/12 = 4,000,000

proportional amortization: 40,000 x 2/6 (month accrued) = 6,667

accrued interest 8,000,000 x 10% x 2/12 = 1,333,333

Mr. and Mrs. Revel had $206,200 AGI before considering capital gains and losses. Required: For each of the following cases, compute their AGI:

a. On May 8, they recognized an $8,900 short-term capital gain. On June 25, they recognized a $15,000 long-term capital loss.
b. On February 11, they recognized a $2,100 long-term capital gain. On November 3, they recognized a $1,720 long-term capital loss.
c. On April 2, they recognized a $5,000 long-term capital loss. On September 30, they recognized a $4,800 short-term capital loss.
d. On January 12, they recognized a $5,600 short-term capital loss. On July 5, they recognized a $1,500 long-term capital gain.

Answers

Answer:

For 2020 the maximum capital loss deductible from taxable income is $3,000 and this applies when capital losses exceed capital gains.

a. Net Gain = 8,900 - 15,000

= -$6,100

Their AGI will be;

= 206,200 - 3,000

= $203,200

b. Net Gain = 2,100 - 1,720

= $380

AGI;

= 206,200 + 380

= $206,580

c. Net Gain = - 5,000 - 4,800

= -$9,800

AGI;

= 206,200 - 3,000

= $203,200

d. Net Gain = 1,500 - 5,600

= -$4,100

AGI;

= 206,200 - 3,000

= $203,200

The computation of Mr. and Mrs. Revel's AGI after inputting capital gains and losses are as follows:

Situation                 AGI Before      Net Capital Gain    AGI After

a.                              $206,200             ($3,000)          $203,200

b.                             $206,200                  $380           $206,580

c.                             $206,200             ($3,000)          $203,200

d.                            $206,200             ($3,000)          $203,200

Data and Calculations:

The AGI of Mr. and Mrs Revel before Capital Gains and Losses = $206,200

Case A:

Short-term capital gain = $8,900

Long-term capital loss = $15,000

Net capital gain = ($6,100)

Maximum capital loss allowed in the year = $3,000

Balance carried forward = $3,100 ($6,100 - $3,000)

Case B:

Long-term capital gain =$2,100

Long-term capital loss = $1,720

Net capital gain = $380

Case C:

Long-term capital loss = $5,000

Short-term capital loss = $4,800

Net capital loss = $9,800

Maximum capital loss allowed = $3,000

Capital loss carried forward = $6,800 ($9,800 - $3,000)

Case D:

Short-term capital loss = $5,600

Long-term capital gain = $1,500

Net capital loss = $4,100

Maximum capital loss allowed = $3,000

Capital loss carried forward =$1,100 ($4,100 - $3,000)

Champion manufactures winter fleece jackets for sale in the United States. Demand for jackets during the season is normally distributed, with a mean of 20,000 and a standard deviation of 10,000. Each jacket sells for $60 and costs $30 to produce. Any leftover jackets at the end of the season are sold for $25 at the year-end clearance sale. Holding jackets until the year-end sale adds another $5 to their cost. A recent recruit has suggested shipping leftover jackets to South America for sale in the winter there rather than running a clearance. Each jacket will fetch a price of $35 in South America, and all jackets sent there are likely to sell. Shipping costs add additional $5 to the cost of any jacket sold in South America, along with the $5 for holding jackets till the end of the season.

The company is considering hiring its own sales staff to replace the network of agents. It will pay its salespeople a commission of 8% and incur additional fixed costs of $7,500,000.
Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation

Answers

Answer:

the question is incomplete, so I looked for the requirements of similar questions:

A. Calculate the company’s break-even point in sales dollars for the year 2014 if it hires its own sales force to replace the network of agents.

B. Calculate the degree of operating leverage at sales of $75,000,000 if (1) Bonita Beauty uses sales agents, and (2) Bonita Beauty employs its own sales staff.

a) total sales = $75,000,000

variable costs:

COGS $31,500,000

commissions $6,000,000

total variable costs = $37,500,000

contribution margin ratio = $37,500,000 / $75,000,000 = 0.5

total fixed costs = $8,610,000 + $10,260,000 + $7,500,000 = $26,370,000

break even point in $ = $26,370,000 / 0.5 = $52,740,000

b) one of the formulas that we can use to calculate the degree of operating leverage is:

operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs

1) total costs using sales agents = $63,870,000

total fixed costs = $8,610,000 + $10,260,000 = $18,870,000

degree of operating leverage = $18,870,000 / $63,870,000 = 29.54%

2) total costs employing its own sales staff = $6,000,000 + $31,500,000 + $26,370,000 = $63,870,000

total fixed costs = $26,370,000

degree of operating leverage = $26,370,000 / $63,870,000 = 41.29%

The carrying value of this equipment on Pitbull's books at the end of last year, December 31, 20X1, was $200,000. At the end of this year, December 31, 20X2, due to decreased demand for the equipment, especially when resold as used, the fair value is $150,000. For the year 20X2, in relation to this equipment for which Pitbull has chosen to apply the revaluation method, Pitbull must:_________

Answer and Explanation:

If there is decrease in fair value of an asset as is seen in the example with Pitbull corporation, we decrease asset revaluation reserve in the balance sheet by the value reduced $50000 here to recognise new carrying value of the asset and then debit the expenses of revaluation to the income statement or profit and loss account. If there was an increase in fair value, revaluation would add to retained earnings in balance sheet and income in income statement

A worker has two jobs, and they can choose to work any number of hours in a day on each job (up to the upper limit, if any), but can only work on one job at a time. The first job pays $10 per hour and has an upper limit of 6 hours per day. The second job pays $6 per hour and has no upper limit (for example, fixed-contract online freelance work). The worker will always choose the first job if they can. Consider their budget constraint with the amount of daily leisure time on the horizontal axis (from 0 to 24 hours) and their consumption expenditure on the vertical axis (which equals their daily income). Based on this information, which of the following is correct?

a. The workers budget constraint is kinked at 6 hours of free time.
b. The worker will never choose to consume exactly 18 hours of free time.
c. The slope of the budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large.
d. For the choice of 8 hours of free time, the maximum expenditure for the day is 96

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the Budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large ( C )

Explanation:

The slope of the Budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large

This is right, because  whenever the hours of free time is small, This means that he will be under the second job that pays $6 per hour, with no upper limit on work hours, hence he will work more & enjoy less free time.

Hence the slope of BC = 6

Your company assembles five different models of a motor scooter that is sold in specialty stores in the United States. The company uses the same engine for all five models. You have been given the assignment of choosing a supplier for these engines for the coming year. Due to the size of your warehouse and other administrative restrictions, you must order the engines in lot sizes of 1,000 units. Because of the unique characteristics of the engine, special tooling is needed during the manufacturing process for which you agree to reimburse the supplier. Your assistant has obtained quotes from two reliable engine suppliers and you need to decide which to use. The following data have been collected:

Requirements (annual forecast) 12,000 units
Weight per engine 22 pounds
Order processing cost $125 per order
Inventory carry cost 20 percent of the average value of inventory per year

Assume that half of lot size is in inventory on average (1,000/2 = 500 units).

Two qualified suppliers have submitted the following quotations:

ORDER QUANTITY SUPPLIER 1 UNIT PRICE SUPPLIER 2 UNIT PRICE
1 to 1,499 units/order $510.00 $505.00
1,500 to 2,999 units/order 500.00 505.00

Assume Merck (MRK) just announced that its next dividend will be $2, paid one year from now (you just missed the prior annual dividend). You expect the dividend will grow (after the $2 dividend) by 3% per year forever. Your required return is 10%. What are you willing to pay for a share of Merck stock

Answers

Answer:

$28.57

Explanation:

Current price = D1/(Required return-Growth rate)

D1 (Next dividend) = $2

Required return = 10% = 0.1

Growth rate = 3% = 0.03

Current price = $2/(0.1-0.03)

Current price = $2 / 0.07

Current price = $28.57143

Current price = $28.57

Hence, i will be willing to pay $28.57 for a share of Merck stock.

Assembly Parts 1,200,000 1,000,000 parts
Inspection Inspections 300,000 500 inspections
If overhead is applied using traditional-based costing on direct labor hours, the overhead application rate is:___________.
a) 9.60
b) 12.00
c) 15.00
d) 34.17

Answers

Answer:

d) 34.17

Explanation:

we must first calculate the total overhead expenses = $120,000 (ordering and receiving) + $297,000 (machine setup) + $1,500,000 (machining) + $1,200,000 (assembly parts) + $300,000 (inspection) = $3,417,000

since overhead is applied based on direct labor hours, then the predetermined overhead rate = total overhead expenses / total direct labor hours = $3,417,000 / 100,000 labor hours = $34.17 per labor hour

Answers

Answer:

$25

Explanation:

it said her and her friend.

The opportunity cost for attending the concert is $90. Thus, option (D) is correct.

What is opportunity cost?

Opportunity cost refers to the loss of value or benefit that would result from engaging in a certain activity option in comparison to engaging in an alternative activity that offers a higher return on value or benefit. It gives the value of the best alternative chosen in the process of decision-making.

According to the given question, Karen gets paid $10 per hour for her part-time job. She wanted to attend the concert and price of the concert ticket after getting the discount is $50.

The four hours off from the job will cost = $10 × 4 hours

                                                              = $40

The opportunity cost for attending the concert = $50+$40

                                                                          = $90

Therefore, it can be concluded that opportunity cost will be $90. Hence, option (D) is correct.

Last week, an investigative reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper discovered that the doctors conducting clinical trials of a new cancer treatment drug are also the principal shareholders in Cancer Solutions Inc. (CSI). CSI is the company developing and attempting to market the drug. Upon being interviewed by federal authorities, the doctors acknowledged their conflict of interest but reported that they were sold the shares at a 75% discount by CSI's chief financial officer. The CFO was concerned that CSI might not be able to meet its annual performance objectives and in turn pay his anticipated multimillion-dollar bonus. Does an agency conflict exist between CSI's CFO and the company's shareholders? a. Yes; CSI's CFO engaged in unethical conduct to manipulate the firm's short-term earnings and improve the likelihood of receiving his annual bonus. b. Yes; the shares should not have been sold at a 75% discount, which is price discrimination. c. No; professionals, such as doctors and professional money managers, would not participate in unethical activities. d. No; in general, shareholders are satisfied with company officers engaging in any type of legal or illegal activity to ensure the chances of them receiving greater dividend payments. Which of the following actions will help ease agency conflicts and better align managers' objectives with the firm's shareholder wealth? a. Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth. b.
