The shape of China's production possibilities frontier (PPF) should reflect the fact that as China produces more smartphones and fewer tablets, the opportunity cost of producing each additional smartphone ------

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Remain same

Explanation:

In this situation, China makes tablets and smartphones only. The equipment used to manufacture these two products is nearly the same, the same collection of tools is equally useful in manufacturing both smartphones and tablets. So there is the constant opportunity cost of both commodities.

Resources are similarly appropriate for the manufacturing of two varied goods at a constant opportunity cost.

Therefore, the opportunity costs for additional smartphone remains the same.

Answer 2
Final answer:

In economics, the PPF reflects the combinations of goods a country can produce. As China produces more smartphones and fewer tablets, the opportunity cost of each additional smartphone increases, according to the Law of Increasing Opportunity Cost. This means as more of any good is produced, the cost of foregone production of the next best alternative good increases.

Explanation:

The production possibilities frontier (PPF) in economics symbolizes the different combinations of goods a country can generate given its resources. As China decides to make more smartphones and fewer tablets, the opportunity cost of each additional smartphone increases, which is called the Law of Increasing Opportunity Cost. This law suggests that as you produce more of any good, the opportunity cost (i.e., the cost of foregone production of the next best alternative good) will increase.

For example, if China can produce either 1000 smartphones or 2000 tablets, and chooses to produce 200 more smartphones, they may have to give up production of 300 tablets. This means that the opportunity cost of each additional smartphone (in terms of tablets foregone) is increasing.

A growing trend to "Buy American" may encourage U.S. automakers to increase political pressure on Washington to pass legislation for more restrictive quotas on Japanese car imports. In addition, a decline in the value of the U.S. dollar would be instrumental in Toyota's decision to build a manufacturing plant in the United States instead of continuing to export cars from Japan. If Toyota builds the plant, its decision would reflect

Answers

Answer:

C) a positive result from regulatory and economic environmental forces.

Explanation:

In the short run the whole economy will benefit, more American jobs will be created, consumers will probably get good cars at even lower prices, but on the long run the scenario may not be that good for everyone. If Toyota builds the plant, it will be the result of economic and political pressures, and that is a game that two can play, just ask farmers about the trade deal with China.

On the other hand, this is a type of deja vu (or been there, done that), and it ended up with GM and Chrysler bankrupt and Ford barely surviving. This types of policies were enforced in the 1980s by president Reagan and the famous "Made in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen. Back then Honda had a small factory and Toyota was starting to consider building a plant in the US, Nissan hadn't showed up yet. Fast forward a few years and the only good American vehicles are pickups, the Japanese brands wiped out the rest. The country is full of Camrys, Accords, Civics, Corollas, CRVs and Rav4s. They are great cars, too great for the American car manufacturers to compete against. Who knows, with this type of policies maybe in 10 years the only American car manufacturer left will be Tesla.

Answers

Answer:

5. a long-term investment.

Explanation:

A long-term investment is the accounts that are recorded on the asset of the balance sheet of an organization. Long-term investment are investments of the organisation which comprises of real estate, stocks, cash, and bonds which the company has the intention of keeping it for more than one year.

A long-term investment is different from a short term investment because the company can decide to sell it within a period less than one year.

A long term investment is more risky than the short term investment, because the long term investment has the potential give the holders higher rewards because of their willingness exercise patience and allow their capital to be tied up for a period of time that is longer.

Since Hans Company expects to hold the Zimmer Corporation bonds for more than one year, it is therefore a long-term investment.

A firm began a mineral exploitation venture during the current year by spending (1) $40 million for the mineral rights; (2) $100 million exploring for the minerals, one-fourth of which were successful; and (3) $60 million to develop the site. Management estimated that 20 million tons of ore would ultimately be removed from the property. Wages and other extraction costs for the current year amounted to $10 million. In total, 2 million tons of ore were removed from the deposit in the current year. The entire production for the period was sold. Compute cost of goods sold under the successful efforts method.

Answers

Answer:

cost of goods sold  22,500,000 debit

  ore deposit                12,500,000 credit

   wages payables       10,000,000 credit

Explanation:

40,000,000 + 25,000,000 + 60,000,000 = 125,000,000 incurred cost to make the site ready for extractions

rate per ton:

125,000,000 / 20,000,000 = $6.25

each tons deplete 6.25 of the mining deposit.

2,000,000 tons x 6.25 = 12,500,000

then we also add up the 10,000,000 extraction cost

Answers

Answer:

B) Only statement II is correct.

II. Has $20,000 of taxable income from Corporation Z.

Explanation:

One of the disadvantages of a C Corporation is that their owners (stockholders) are double taxed. That means that the corporation is taxed and then the stockholders are taxed depending on the dividends that they receive. In this case, Walter has $10,000 of taxable income from Corporation X (= $50,000 x 20%).

On the other hand, sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies and S Corporations are not taxed, they are pass through entities whose owners are taxed directly. In this case, Walter owns 20% of Corporation Z, therefore he must pay taxes on 20% of taxable income = $100,000 x 20% = $20,000.

Stowell earns 20% interest compounded annually on his savings. He will deposit $1,500 today, $1,650 one year from today, and $1,820 two years from today. What will be the account balance three years from today? (Round intermediate calculations to nearest four decimals.)

Answers

The account balance will be $7,152 three years from now.

Explanation:

The annual interest is 20%. The formula to calculate compound interest is

A = P × (1 + (r/n))^tn where A is the amount after adding the compound interest, P is the interest, r is the interest %, n is number of compounds per year and tn is the years to be calculated but since the interest is compounded yearly and we check the balance every year we get that the n and rn equal to 1 so we get that A = P (1 +r)^1

So for the beginning of the first year where principal is $1,500,

A = $1,500 (1 + 0.20) = $1,500 (1.20) = $1,800.

For the beginning of the second year, the current balance is $1,800 and another $1,650 is added so prinicipal P is equal to $1,800 + $1,650 = $3,450,

A = $3,450 (1 + 0.20) = $3,450 (1.20) = $4,140.

For the start of the third year, current balance is $4,140 and $1,820 is added so principal is $4,140 + $1,820 = $5,960,

A = $5,490 (1 + 0.20) = $5,490 (1.20) = $7,152.

Final answer:

To find Stowell's account balance after three years with a 20% annual compound interest, calculate the future value of each deposit ($1,500 today, $1,650 in one year, and $1,820 in two years) and sum them up.

Explanation:

Stowell's account balance three years from today, with 20% interest compounded annually, can be calculated considering each of the deposits separately and then adding them together. The deposits made are as follows: $1,500 today, $1,650 one year from today, and $1,820 two years from today. We'll calculate the future value of each deposit after three years and sum them to find the total balance.

The formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r)^n, where P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), and n is the number of compounding periods.

First Deposit: $1,500 will compound for three years:
 $1,500(1 + 0.20)^3Second Deposit: $1,650 will compound for two years:
 $1,650(1 + 0.20)^2Third Deposit: $1,820 will compound for one year:
 $1,820(1 + 0.20)^1

So for the beginning of the first year where principal is $1,500,

A = $1,500 (1 + 0.20) = $1,500 (1.20) = $1,800.

For the beginning of the second year, the current balance is $1,800 and another $1,650 is added so prinicipal P is equal to $1,800 + $1,650 = $3,450,

A = $3,450 (1 + 0.20) = $3,450 (1.20) = $4,140.

For the start of the third year, current balance is $4,140 and $1,820 is added so principal is $4,140 + $1,820 = $5,960,

A = $5,490 (1 + 0.20) = $5,490 (1.20) = $7,152.

Jessica is a U.S. Army Reservist and in 2019 traveled 130 miles each way to serve duty at a local military installation. She was required to report four times in 2019. Her normal route from home to the base included a $1.75 toll each way. Jessica's for AGI deduction for these costs is:________.
a. $0.
b. $14.00.
c. $122.00.
d. $566.80.
e. $580.80.

Answers

Final answer:

Jessica's for AGI deduction for the travel costs to the military installation is based on toll costs alone, since the standard mileage rate is not provided in the information. The calculation comes to a total of $14.00 which is the sum of the tolls paid for four round trips, making option b the correct answer. Since the IRS standard mileage rate is not provided, the mileage costs cannot be calculated.

Explanation:

To determine Jessica's for AGI deduction for her travel costs to the military installation, we need to calculate the total amount she spent. Jessica traveled 130 miles each way and reported for duty four times in 2019. Although the information provided does not explicitly state the IRS deductible rate for travel in 2019, typically the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows a certain amount per mile driven for business purposes.

For the sake of this example, let's use the standard IRS mileage rate for 2019, which was 58 cents per mile for business travel. However, the actual problem doesn't provide us with a mileage rate, so we cannot calculate the mileage costs without this information.

Jessica incurred a $1.75 toll each way during her trips. Since she made four round trips, the total toll cost would be 4 trips × 2 tolls per trip × $1.75 per toll, which equals $14.00.

Since the information on the standard mileage rate is missing, we cannot complete the calculation for mileage costs accurately. However, with the toll costs alone, Jessica's for AGI deduction for these costs, based only on available information, would be $14.00, which corresponds to option b.

Tom needs a new washing machine. A new one costs $400. He decides to save and buy one next year. All other factors being equal, if inflation is 4%, the washing machine will cost ______ next year. This should be an even answer with no need for decimals.

Answers

Final answer:

If inflation is at 4%, the cost of a $400 washing machine next year would be $416, calculated using the future cost formula which considers the inflation rate.

Explanation:

If inflation is at 4%, we can calculate the cost of the washing machine next year by applying the inflation rate to the current price. The formula to calculate the future cost in the presence of inflation is:

Future Cost = Current Price × (1 + Inflation Rate)

Given that the current price of the washing machine is $400, and assuming an inflation rate of 4%, we can plug these values into our formula:

Future Cost = $400 × (1 + 0.04)

Future Cost = $400 × 1.04

Future Cost = $416

So, if inflation is at 4%, next year the washing machine will cost $416.

It is important to note that this calculation assumes a steady inflation rate and does not account for any potential changes in the price due to factors other than inflation, such as technological advancements or changes in market demand.

Additionally, we see the impact of inflation on purchasing power. As prices generally increase with inflation, the same amount of money will buy fewer goods and services.

If the expected return on Stock 1 is 6%, and the expected return on Stock 2 is 20%, the expected return on a two-asset portfolio that holds 10% of its funds in Stock 1 and 90% in Stock 2 is:________
A) 13%
B) 18.6%
C) 11.52%
D) 19.14%

Answers

Answer:

B) 18.6%

Explanation:

Given that

The expected return on Stock 1 is 6% and the holding percentage is 10%

The expected return on Stock 2 is 20% and holding percentage is 20%

So, The computation of the total expected return is

= Expected return on Stock 1 × holding percentage + Expected return on Stock 2 × holding percentage

= 6% × 10% + 20% × 90%

= 0.6% + 18%

= 18.6%

Basically we multiplied the expected return with its holding percentage

d. nominal GDP is $500, real GDP is $400, and the GDP deflator is 125.

Answers

Answer:

d. nominal GDP is $500, real GDP is $400, and the GDP deflator is 125.

Explanation:

Real GDP is total output produced in an economy within a given period multiplied by base year prices

Nominal GDP is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period multiplied by current year prices.

Nominal GDP = (100 × $3) + (50 × $4) =

$500

Real GDP = (100 × 1.5) + (50 × $5) = $400

GDP deflator = (nominal gdp / real gdp) x 100

(500 / 400) × 100 = 125

Answers

Answer:

a decrease in the price of a kayak 

Explanation:

A decrease in the price of kayaks leads to a downward movement along the supply curve for kayaks and not a shift of the supply curve.

An increase in the costs of materials to build a kayak and an increase in the taxes on kayaks increases cost of production and discourages production. Therefore, supply would fall. The supply curve would shift to the left as a result.

A decrease in the number of sellers of kayaks would reduce sipply and supply would fall. The supply curve would shift to the left as a result.

A property is destroyed before escrow closes. Risk of loss would be _________(a) with the seller if possession had not passed and the loss was not due to the fault of the purchaser.(b) with the buyer if either possession or title has passed and not the fault of the seller. (c) with the escrow holder if not the fault of the buyer or seller. (d) both a and b are correct.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": both a and b are correct.

Explanation:

Escrow is a two-party financial agreement that usually involves a buyer and a seller. The buyer deposits money, securities or other funds into the escrow account where they are kept until they fulfill certain predefined requirements for both parties involved. The funds are then passed on to the seller.

If there is damage on the property, the risk loss is transferred to the buyer if the title has already been transferred to the buyer and if the damage is not the fault of the seller. If the seller still possesses the property's title, the damage must be covered by the seller in case the buyer is not involved in it.
