Suppose you are in charge of sales at a pharmaceutical company, and your firm has a new drug that causes bald men to grow hair. Assume that the company wants to earn as much revenue as possible from this drug. If the elasticity of demand for your company’s product at the current price is 1.4, what would you advise the company to do?

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

The amount would be:

Amount = Issued Amount × Interest rate

= $600,000 × 10%

= $60,000

So, the interest would be $60,000, this amount to be paid on year end.

But the installment payment is of $69,932

Balance amount = $69,932 - $60,000

= $9,932

The first installment is of amount $60,000. So, the principal balance would be:

Principal balance = Amount - Balance amount

= $600,000 - $9,932

= $590,068

Answer:

Arthur's fixed costs are $952

Explanation:

The break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the revenues for a product and calculated by using following formula:

Break-even point in units = Fixed costs/(Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit)

Fixed costs = Break-even point in units x (Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit)

In Arthur, Break-even point in units = $1,460/$23

Fixed costs = $1,460/$23 x ($23 - $8) = $952

The fixed cost for Arthur's crafts miniature chocolate dollhouses is $952.

The break-even point is regarded as the level at which production costs tend to be equal to the revenues for the product.

[tex]BE=\frac{FC}{SP-VC}[/tex]

Now, the fixed cost would be calculated as:

[tex]BE*(SP-VC)[/tex]

Therefore, the fixed cost would be:

[tex]\frac{1460}{23} * (23-8)\\=952[/tex]

Annual deposit= $4,143.66

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

You need to have saved $1,000,000 in 30 years. You can invest in a retirement account that guarantees you a 12% annual return.

To calculate the annual deposit needed to achieve the objective, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

Answer: A perpetual bond is similar to a no growth stock and a share of preferred stock as they all derive their values from a series of cash inflows.

Explanation: A perpetual bond is a bond with no maturity date. Issuers pay COUPONS on them forever. This represents the cash inflows.

In the same vein, both a no-growth stock and share of preferred stock derive their values from a series of cash inflows called DIVIDENDS.

A perpetual bond is similar to no-growth common stock and preferred stock because they provide consistent returns without growth prospects; their valuation also reflects a constant yield. For both types of stocks and perpetual bonds, present value calculations consider these consistent payment streams.

A perpetual bond, also known as a perpetuity or consol, is a bond that pays interest forever without a maturity date. This financial instrument is similar to 1) a no-growth common stock because neither the perpetual bond nor the no-growth stock will increase in value from growth; they both provide a consistent stream of income indefinitely. 2) A share of preferred stock often has a fixed dividend, which is similar to the fixed interest payment of a perpetual bond, also known as coupon payments.

Moreover, the valuation of a perpetual bond can be described using the formula V = 1/r, assuming the rate of return (r) is constant. This formula highlights the similarity between perpetual bonds and certain stocks with constant payments. In the case of no-growth common stocks, the expectancy of dividends to remain the same reinforces their resemblance to a consol's fixed interest payments. Preferred stock comparisons arise from the nature of preferred dividends, which, like consol payments, are typically fixed and paid out prior to any common stock dividends.

Answer:

3. Correctly ignored a sunk cost

Explanation:

Sunk costs refer to those costs which have been incurred in the past and which can no longer be recovered. For example, past expenditure on research and development with no current or future benefits represent sunk costs which can no longer be recovered.

Sunk costs are irrelevant for decision making process as they do not relate to current projects and yield no economic benefit.

In the given case, Manuel had already purchased a $10 movie ticket, which can neither be transferred nor eligible for a refund.  Later when he does not exercise the option of going for the movie and opts for a concert instead, the amount of 10$ spent on the movie represents a sunk cost which is non recoverable.

Final answer:

From an economist's view, Manuel should focus on the marginal costs and benefits of current and future options, rather than the sunk cost of the movie ticket.

Explanation:

From the perspective of an economist, if Manuel chooses to attend the movie instead of going to the concert with Poornima, he is allowing a sunk cost to improperly influence his decision. The $10 he spent on the movie ticket is a sunk cost, which means it has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. His decision should be based on the comparative benefits of the current options he has: either the experience of watching the movie or the enjoyment and potential relationship benefits of going to the concert. Since he prefers to go on the date with Poornima, going to the movie would not be an optimal choice. The economist's advice would be to ignore the sunk cost of the movie ticket and attend the concert, as that would provide greater utility to Manuel.

Answer:

3$

Explanation:

yes

Consumer Surplus is the economic benefit a buyer gets when they pay less for a product than what they were willing to. In this instance, the consumer surplus is $3 as John was willing to pay $5 for the loaf but only paid $2.

In economics, the term Consumer Surplus is used to define the economic benefit obtained by consumers when they are able to purchase a product for a lower price than they are willing to pay. In John's case, he was willing to pay $5 for a loaf of bread, but he only paid $2 because of the ongoing discount. Hence, the calculation of Consumer Surplus would be his willingness to pay ($5) minus the actual price paid ($2), which equals to $3. So, John's consumer surplus from this purchase is $3.

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Adjusted gross income (AGI) is the amount arrived at after some specific allowable deductions have been deducted from the total gross income.

The Retirement Savings Contributions Credit now called the Savers Credit provides a special tax break to those who are saving for retirement and in the low-income and moderate-income taxpayers category.

The amount to deduct depends on the AGI and how regularly the individual files tax returns. The rate of tax credit which is not refundable is 10%, 20% or 50% of the first $2,000 the parson contributed to a retirement account during the year.

The table for 2019 AGI shows that a single filler with the income range of $20,751-$32,000 can have a 10% savers credit.

Since the tax payer is a single filler, he is therefore qualified for 10% of his AGI of $29,000 which $2,900.

Answer:

d. A fixed price of $2200/month.

Explanation:

A landlord is an owner of the house or property which is rented to a person called Tenant on lease or rent. The landlord in the question is renting an apartment. He has 3 Potential Tenants who are willing to rent his property. The greatest revenue will be generated if the apartment is rent out to the second tenant who is willing to pay $3000 per month. The revenue of the landlord will maximize if he uses option D to rent out his apartment. A fixed price of $2200 will generate greatest revenue.

The method that would generate the greatest revenue for the landlord is a sealed first-price auction, which could yield a revenue slightly below $3000/month.

The question asks which method of renting an apartment would generate the greatest revenue for a landlord with three prospective tenants with different valuations. The options are: a sealed first-price auction, a sealed second-price (Vickrey) auction, a fixed price of $1900/month, and a fixed price of $2200/month.

In a sealed first-price auction, each tenant would bid according to their valuation, and the highest bidder would win at the price they bid. Here, the second tenant would likely win by bidding slightly above $2000 (the next highest valuation), generating a revenue close to $3000/month for the landlord.

In a sealed second-price (Vickrey) auction, the highest bidder wins but pays the second-highest bid. Since the tenants know each other's valuations, the second tenant might bid their true valuation, $3000, and win at the third tenant's bid of $2000/month.

A fixed price of $1900/month would result in the second tenant renting the apartment, generating less revenue than the potential $2000 in the Vickrey auction. A fixed price of $2200/month would be above two tenant's valuations, and likely result in no transaction as none would be willing to rent at that price.

Answer:

a) 15 March 2018

b) 58 days passed between the last coupon paid and the settlement date

c) There are 123 days in the current coupon period.

Explanation:

a) So, next coupon will be paid on 15 March 2018.

(b) Coupon was paid on 15th September 2017 and settleent date is November 12, 2017, hence using the ACT/ACT day count convention, the number of days passed between the last coupon paid and the settlement date is (15 days of September + 31 Days of October + 12 days of November) = 58 days.

(c) The next coupon date is 15th March 2018. Hence, the number of days in current coupon period is (18 days of November + 31 days of December + 31 days of January + 28 days of February + 15 days of March ) = 123 days

The answers to the questions are as follows:

 a. The next coupon will be paid on March 15, 2018.

 b. There were 58 days between the last coupon paid (September 15, 2017) and the settlement date (November 12, 2017).

 c. There are 184 days in the current coupon period.

a. U.S. Treasury bonds pay coupons semi-annually, which means every six months. Since the last coupon was paid on September 15, 2017, adding six months to this date brings us to the next coupon payment date. September has 30 days, so adding six months to September 15 would be 30 days for September, plus 31 days each for October, November, December, January, and February, plus 15 days for March, totaling 184 days. However, since February has only 28 days in a non-leap year, we subtract one day, resulting in 183 days. Therefore, the next coupon payment date is March 15, 2018.

 b. To calculate the number of days between the last coupon payment and the settlement date, we use the ACT/ACT day count convention, which counts the actual number of days in each month. Starting from September 15, 2017, to November 12, 2017, we have:

 - The rest of September: 15 days (since September has 30 days)

- October: 31 days

- November: 12 days (up to the 12th)

 Adding these up gives us a total of 15 + 31 + 12 = 58 days.

 c. The current coupon period started right after the last coupon payment on September 15, 2017, and will end on the next coupon payment date, which we determined to be March 15, 2018. Using the ACT/ACT day count convention, we count the actual number of days in each month:

 - September: 15 days (from the 15th to the end of the month)

- October: 31 days

- November: 30 days

- December: 31 days

- January: 31 days

- February: 28 days (in a non-leap year)

- March: 15 days (up to the 15th)

 Adding these up gives us a total of 15 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 28 + 15 = 181 days. However, since we are including both the start and end dates in our count, we add one more day, resulting in 182 days. But since we subtracted one day in the calculation of the next coupon payment date due to February not being a leap year, the total number of days in the current coupon period is 184 days."

Answer:

The gain will be treated as a capital gain taxed at the long-term tax rate.

Explanation:

Capital gain tax is paid on profit derived from selling an investment asset, like stock or bond. Under the tax law, capital gain can be taxed either at a long-term tax rate or current ordinary-income tax rate.

For a capital gain to be taxed at the long-term tax rate, the investment must have been held for more than one year and above. The tax rate under the long term range from 0% to 20%.

For the a capital gain to be taxed at the current ordinary-income tax rate, the investment must be held less than one year. When this occur,the capital gain is taxed at the ordinary income tax rate because the gain is assumed to be part of the taxable income for the year.

In the case of Tund Corp, the capital gain will be taxed at long term tax rate of 0% to 20% because the investment is held more than a year.

The answer is A. Cash is increased by debiting

Explanation:

Like all assets, to debit means to increase while to credit means to decrease.

There is no rule that states cash must always have more credits than debit or more debits than credits. Cash account can have more credits than debited and the balance will still be positive and vice-versa.

Cash account can have a credit balance. If this happens that means the business is owing or in debt.

The correct statement concerning cash is that it is increased by debiting. The balance of the cash account, whether it is a debit or credit balance, depends on the specifics of the transactions.

Out of the options provided concerning cash, the accurate statement is: Cash is increased by debiting.

In the double-entry bookkeeping system, a debit entry increases an asset account, and cash is considered an asset. Thus, to increase your cash account, you would debit it.

However, the statements 'Cash will always have more debits than credits' and 'Cash will never have a credit balance' are not universally true. The balance of the cash account depends on the transactions. If there are more debits (increases) to the account than credits (decreases), then it will have a debit balance. If there are more credits than debits, it could potentially have a credit balance.

The company's break-even point in sales dollars is A. $25,000

Explanation:

The break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the revenues for a product and calculated by using following formula:

Break-even point in units = Fixed expense/(Selling price per unit-Variable expense per unit)  = $10,000/($100-$60) = $10,000/$40 = 250 units

Break-even point in sales dollars = Break-even point in units x Selling price per unit = 250 x $100 = $25,000

Answer:

A. $25,000

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of production at which the costs incurred in production equal the revenues for a product and calculated by using following formula;

Break-Even Point (sales dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin  ratio

where,

Contribution Margin ratio = (selling Price – Variable Costs)/selling price

Given;

Selling price per unit = $100

variable cost per unit = $60

Fixed cost = $10,000

Contribution margin ratio = ($100 - $60)/$100

= 0.4

Break-Even Point (sales dollars) = $10,000/0.4

= $25,000

The securities purchased by Misk Co. can be classified into held-to-maturity securities, trading securities, and available-for-sale securities based on their intent and ability to sell.

I. Debt securities bought and held for the purposes of reselling in the near future. These are classified as trading securities because they are bought with the intention of reselling them in the near future to earn profit from price changes.

II. U.S. Treasury bonds that Misk intends and is able to hold to maturity. These are deemed as held-to-maturity securities because the investor intends to and is capable of holding these until their maturity date.

III. An investment in a stock that Misk does not intend to sell in the near future. These are termed available-for-sale securities because they are neither intended to be sold in the near term (like trading securities) nor held until maturity (as with held-to-maturity securities). They can be sold if necessary, but that is not the primary intention.
