Bottom trawling is a type of deep-sea fishing that involves dragging a large net along the bottom of the ocean, and it results in catching and killing many unintended species, some of which are endangered. Environmental advocates, concerned for these endangered marine species, have recommended that commercial fishers use a new set of nets, each designed specifically for the size and shape and pheromones (chemical attractors) of an individual marine species targeted by the commercial fishers. Environmentalists hope use of these new nets will protect the endangered marine species without interrupting commercial deep-sea fishing.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim that use of the new nets will have the intended effects?

(A) The pheromones that would most attract the food species sought by commercial fishers indicate the presence of a dangerous threat to most of the endangered marine species.
(B) Some endangered marine species are particularly large, as large any species targeted by commercial deep-sea fishing.
(C) Most of the newly design nets are not significantly more expensive than a typical bottom trawling system.
(D) Catching unintended, endangered species adds nothing to the profits of a commercial deep-sea fishing company.
(E) Freshwater fishers often increase the odds of catching a desired fish, and avoid catching unintended species, by the specific design of the fishing hook.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) The pheromones that would most attract the food species sought by commercial fishers indicate the presence of a dangerous threat to most of the endangered marine species.

Explanation:

The pheromones in the new nets will serve two purpose: attract target fish commercial fishers want, and at the same time releases and indicator that warns endangered species of a threat.

The result of this is commercial fishers will only catch their target fish, and endangered species will tend to go away from fishing areas because of the indicator warning them of danger.

Explanation:

A factory worker earns $500 per week and will receive a $2,000 bonus at year-end, a 2-week paid vacation, and 5 paid holidays. The combined amount of the accruals for bonus, vacation, and holiday pay in the weekly payroll would be:

Answers

Answer:

$70

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Earnings per week = $500

Bonus received per year = $2,000

Paid vacation = 2 weeks

Paid holidays = 5

Now,

Since  the workers have 2 weeks of vacation the fringe benefit will be calculated for 50 weeks  

[as 1 year have 52 weeks, so  52 - 2 weeks = 50 weeks]

Now,

Bonus per week = $2,000 ÷ 50 weeks

= $40 per week

Vacation pay for the year = Earning per week × Total vacation per year

= $500 × 2 weeks =  $1,000

Thus,

Vacation pay per week = $1,000 ÷ 50 weeks

= $20 per week

since there are 5 days working in a week

Holiday pay per day = $500 ÷ 5 days

= $100 per day

Thus,

Total holiday pay for a year =  Holiday pay per day × total holidays per year

= $100 × 5

= $500

Therefore,

Holiday pay per week = $500 ÷ 50 weeks

= $10 per week

Hence,

Combined amount of accrual

= $40 + $20 + $10

= $70

Final answer:

To calculate the weekly accrual for a factory worker's bonus, vacation, and holiday pay, combine the annual bonus ($2,000), vacation pay ($1,000), and holiday pay ($500), and divide the sum ($3,500) by 52 weeks to get a weekly accrual of $70.00.

Explanation:

The student has asked to calculate the combined amount of the accruals for a bonus, vacation, and holiday pay in the weekly payroll for a factory worker earning $500 per week with additional benefits. To determine the total accrual per week, we need to add the year-end bonus, the value of the paid vacation, and the value of the paid holidays, then divide this sum by the number of weeks in a year to find the weekly amount.

Year-end bonus: $2,000 (already given as an annual figure)

Paid vacation: 2 weeks of vacation at $500 per week equals $1,000

Paid holidays: 5 holidays at $500 per week, divided by a standard 5-day workweek, equals 5 days of pay. This is $500/5 days = $100 per holiday, for a total of $500.

The yearly total of additional benefits is $2,000 (bonus) + $1,000 (vacation) + $500 (holidays) = $3,500.

To find the weekly accrual amount, divide the yearly total by 52 weeks: $3,500 / 52 weeks = $70.00 (rounded to two decimal places).

Therefore, the weekly accrual for the combined amount of bonus, vacation, and holiday pay in the weekly payroll is $70.

A firm has spent the last two years constructing a building to be used as the firm's headquarters. At the end of the first year of construction, the balance of building under construction was $400,000, which includes capitalized interest. During year two, the firm paid $240,000 to the contractor on March 1, and $600,000 on October 1. The building was not finished by the end of the second year. The firm had one loan outstanding all year, an 8%, $3,000,000 construction loan. Compute capitalized interest for year two.

Answers

Answer:

$60,000

Explanation:

Given:

Amount at the end of 1st year = $400,000

Paid : $240,000 (on 1st March)

         $600,000 (on 1st October)

rate = 8%

Calculation of Capitalized interest

= Weighted Amount Borrowed x Interest rate

= $350,000 x 8% = $28,000

Note: Weighted Amount Borrowed = $240000 x 10/12 = $200,000

                                                           = $600,000 x 3/12 = $150,000

Total = $350,000

For the first year = $400,000 x 8% = $32,000

Total Capitalized Interest Amount = $28,000 + $32,000

                                                        = $60,000

Final answer:

To compute capitalized interest for year two, add the beginning balance and payments made, calculate the average and weighted average accumulated expenditures, and multiply by the interest rate.

Explanation:

To compute capitalized interest for year two, we need to calculate the average accumulated expenditures for the construction of the building.

The average accumulated expenditures can be calculated by adding the beginning balance of building under construction ($400,000) to the payments made during the year ($240,000 on March 1 and $600,000 on October 1), and dividing the sum by 2.

In this case, the average accumulated expenditures would be ($400,000 + $240,000 + $600,000) / 2 = $620,000.

Next, we need to calculate the weighted average accumulated expenditures using the average accumulated expenditures and the time weights.

Since the building was not finished by the end of the second year, the time weights would be 6/12 for the first payment on March 1 and 3/12 for the second payment on October 1.

The weighted average accumulated expenditures would be (($620,000 × (6/12)) + ($620,000 × (3/12))) = $310,000.

Finally, to calculate the capitalized interest, we multiply the weighted average accumulated expenditures ($310,000) by the interest rate (8%).

The capitalized interest for year two would be $310,000 × 8% = $24,800.

Explanation:

Rent                                Demand                           Supply

2,500.00                        10000                               15000

2,000.00                         12500                               12500

500.00                           20000                               5000

The equilibrium quantity is 12,500 apartments with a $2,000 rent per month. If the government wants to lower the equilibrium rent price by increasing the supply of apartments, then it must build:

5,000 new apartments will make the equilibrium price = $1,50010,000 new apartments will make the equilibrium price = $1,00015,000 new apartments will make the equilibrium price = $500

When the demand for an apartment is equal to the supply, the equilibrium rental price per month is computed. As a result, there is no point at which demand equals supply.

Option a is the correct answer to the given market equilibrium situation.

The tabulation of the rental price equilibrium

Rent                                Demand                           Supply

500.00                           20000                               5000

With a monthly rent of $2,000, the equilibrium quantity is 12,500 apartments.

If the government intends to reduce the equilibrium rent price by expanding apartment supply, it must construct

With 5,000 new flats, the equilibrium price will be $1,500.

Thirty years ago daniel bought a plot of land for $50,000 when the cpi was 50. now the cpi is 180 and he sold the land for $180,000. what issue might inflation cause for daniel?

Answers

Final answer:

Inflation, reflected by the increase in the Consumer Price Index, can erode the purchasing power of money over time. Although Daniel sold his land for a nominal profit, the real value of the money he received is essentially the same as what he paid 30 years ago, when adjusted for inflation.

Explanation:

Inflation can cause a seemingly profitable sale like Daniel's to be less beneficial than it appears. Although Daniel sold his land for $180,000, which is a substantial apparent increase from his original purchase price of $50,000, it's important to consider the impact of inflation represented by the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the same period. The CPI has increased from 50 to 180 during the 30 years, meaning the average price level (and therefore the general cost of living) has gone up by 260%.

When taking inflation into account, Daniel's $180,000 doesn't have the same purchasing power today as it would have had 30 years ago. To calculate the inflation-adjusted selling price, we'd need to scale up the original purchase price in proportion to the increase in the CPI. This gives an inflation-adjusted selling price of $50,000 * (180 / 50) = $180,000. Therefore, after adjusting for inflation, Daniel didn't make any real profit from the sale.

Gonzalez Company has 350,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. During the year, Gonzalez declared a 10% stock dividend when the market price of the stock was $30 per share. Four months later Gonzalez declared a $.50 per share cash dividend. As a result of the dividends declared during the year, retained earnings decreased by

Answers

Retained earnings decreased by $192,500 as a result of a $.50 per share cash dividend declared by Gonzalez Company. The 10% stock dividend did not affect retained earnings because it was distributed at par value and only reclassified equity.

When Gonzalez Company declared a 10% stock dividend, it distributed additional shares to its shareholders. Since there were 350,000 shares outstanding and the company declared a 10% stock dividend, this resulted in 35,000 additional shares being distributed (10% of 350,000). The market value of these shares at the time was $30 per share, which results in a total value of $1,050,000 (35,000 shares  imes $30). However, for accounting purposes, stock dividends are not recorded at market value. Instead, they affect the stockholders' equity section by transferring from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

Later, when the company declared a $.50 per share cash dividend, this resulted in a straightforward reduction in retained earnings. With 385,000 shares now outstanding (original 350,000 + 35,000 new stock dividends), the total cash dividend paid would be $192,500 ($.50  imes 385,000). This amount was deducted from Gonzalez Company's retained earnings.

Therefore, to calculate the total decrease in retained earnings as a result of the dividends declared during the year, we only need to consider the cash dividend:

Decrease in retained earnings from the cash dividend: $192,500

The stock dividend did not decrease the retained earnings because it was distributed at par value, which is accounted for by just rearranging the equity sections without affecting the total retained earnings.

When demand increases, the marginal benefit usually reduces. The marginal cost of production is the increase in costs resulting from more.

Final answer:

Explaining why Bree did not eat the third piece of pizza due to marginal utility decline and rational decision-making, linked to the law of diminishing marginal utility.

Explanation:

Marginal utility decline: Bree did not eat the third piece of pizza because the marginal utility of consuming that extra piece had diminished. As she ate more pizza, the additional satisfaction she gained from each subsequent slice decreased.

Rational decision-making: Bree stopped at the second additional piece because the marginal utility just equalled the opportunity cost. In this case, the satisfaction gained from one more slice equaled the value of enjoying something else or saving money on food.

Law of diminishing marginal utility: Graphing Joseph's total utility and marginal utility curves would show that marginal utility decreases as he consumes more pizza, confirming the law of diminishing marginal utility.

Nancy checks her margin account and notices she has an SMA balance in her account. A 10% stock dividend was declared this morning on one of the companies she had purchased on margin. She asks her RR how this will affect her SMA balance. How should the RR respond?

Answers

Answer:

Dividend declare has no impact on the SMA. RR would respond the following way.

Explanation:

SMA is known as “Special Memorandum Account”. It is simply a line of credit, neither cash nor equity. It is created with the market value of the securities increase in the value. The purpose of SMA is to maintain the buying power that is provided by unrealized gains towards the subsequent purchases. SMA is an appropriate way to maintain stable account value and minimize unnecessary accounts funding.

SMA increases with the increase in the value of the security, but does not decrease when the security falls in the value.

SMA is increased by the transactions such as cash deposits, interest income or dividend received or security sales. Dividend declared by the company creates a positive sentiments in the minds of investors. However, it will not create any impact on the SMA account, until it is actually received.

The RR should respond that her SMA balance will not include the dividend. When you have a margin account, any dividends declared have no effect on the SMA account until the margin loan is paid back. A margin account is essentially a loan from your brokerage firm. That loan must be paid off first before you collect any balances.

Suppose you build a model of the market for umbrellas, in which the predicted number of umbrellas sold by a shop depends on their colour and price, ceteris paribus. the colour and the price are variables used to predict sales. which other variables are being held constant?

Answers

Answer:

Quantity, location and weather

Explanation:

The concept of the ceteris paribus, is vital in economics as in the real world, it is generally hard to isolate all the variables that are different, and might change the result or outcome.

The ceteris paribus is the simplification, which include holding other things ( both outside as well as inside the model) constant. In this situation, all variables except price and the color are held constant. In this example, such as quantity, weather and location are held constant.

Final answer:

Ceteris paribus, variables kept constant in the model predicting umbrella sales could include factors such as weather conditions, shop location, area competition, time of year, and shop opening hours. These are typically held constant in market models to isolate the impact of the main variables under study.

Explanation:

In the context of the question, other variables that could be held constant (ceteris paribus) in a model predicting umbrella sales could include factors like the weather conditions, the location of the shop, the competition in the area, the time of year, and the shop's opening hours. The weather condition especially has a direct impact on umbrella sales. For example, more umbrellas will be sold during the rainy season than in summer. However, Ceteris Paribus, all other things being equal or held constant, these variables do not change. In a market model, researchers often hold these variables constant to isolate the effect of the variable under study – in this case, the effect of the colour and price of umbrellas on sales – and to simplify the model.

Myrtle, a bank manager, is referred to as a tough boss by her subordinates because she uses bullying management styles to get things done. She sends intimidating emails to the clerical staff at her branch, she threatens the cashier to tally the cash transactions within a particular time limit, and she is abrasive to her subordinates when they try to justify their actions. In this scenario, which of the following is the most evident management mistake being committed by Myrtle?
Insensitivity to others

Answers

Answer:

C) Insensitivity to others

Explanation:

Myrtle is not a bully, she seems to be more like a dictator. Besides Myrtle being rude to her subordinates, which is totally wrong, her behavior will cause negative emotions to them. I bet the cashiers and clerks all dislike her, and feel a mixture of anger, fear, stress and sadness about this situation. The real problem is that all of these negative emotions translate into hostility and bad service towards the customers. Customers do notice when bad things are happening in a business, specially in stressful places like banks. Banks by themselves are very stressful places and if you add employer hostility and bad service, it turns into a perfect storm.

Final answer:

Myrtle's management mistake is insensitivity to others.

Explanation:

The most evident management mistake being committed by Myrtle is insensitivity to others.

Her bullying management style, which includes sending intimidating emails, making threats, and being abrasive, demonstrates a lack of empathy and consideration for her subordinates.

A more effective approach to management would involve being supportive, understanding, and respectful, fostering a positive work environment.

If the​ 10-year Treasury bond rate is 5.3 %​, the inflation premium is 2.8 %​, and the​ maturity-risk premium on​ 10-year Treasury bonds is 0.2 %​, assuming that there is no​ liquidity-risk premium on these​ bonds, what is the real​ risk-free interest​ rate?

Answers

Answer:

2.3%

Explanation:

If nominal interest rate (10-year Treasury bond rate) = real risk free interest rate + inflation premium + default risk premium + maturity risk premium + liquidity risk premium

Then real risk free interest rate = nominal interest rate - inflation premium - default risk premium - maturity risk premium - liquidity risk premium

real risk free interest rate = 5.3% - 2.8% - 0% - 0.2% - 0% = 2.3%
