why are relative prices important in the economy​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Relative-price changes, like inflation, can cause price pressure in an economy. Relative-price changes are not a monetary phenomenon. They arise in market economies as individual prices adjust to the ebb and flow of the supply and demand for various goods. Relative-price movements convey important information about the scarcity of particular goods and services. A rising relative price indicates that demand is outstripping supply (or that supply is falling behind demand), while a falling relative price denotes just the opposite. A rising relative price induces consumers to conserve on the good in question and to look for substitutes. A rising relative price also, by increasing profit opportunities, entices producers to bring more of the good in question to market.

In this way, relative-price changes—no matter how uncomfortable they are for consumers or producers—transmit vital information necessary for the efficient allocation of resources throughout any market economy. Inflation, by contrast, contributes no information useful to our consumption, production, or labor choices. If anything, inflation can temporarily distort vital relative-price signals, leading people to make unsound economic choices. It can even cause people to shift their time and resources away from activities that foster production and long-term economic growth to activities intended to protect their wealth rather than expand it.

If x follows a normal distribution with a mean of 10 and
standard deviation of 3; find out the following
A) Find the value of x = xº such that P(x 5 xº) = 5%
B) Find the value of x = xº such that P(x 2 x°) = 1%

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x=raw\ score, \mu=mean,\ \sigma=standard\ deviation[/tex]

a) P(x ≥ x⁰) = P(z ≥ z⁰) = 1 - P(z < z⁰)

1 - P(z < z⁰) = 1%

P(z < z⁰) = 99%

z⁰ = 2.33

z° = (x° - μ)/σ

2.33 = (x° - 10)/3

x⁰ = 16.99

b) P(x ≥ x⁰) = P(z ≥ z⁰) = 1 - P(z < z⁰)

1 - P(z < z⁰) = 10%

P(z < z⁰) = 90%

z⁰ = 1.28

z° = (x° - μ)/σ

1.28 = (x° - 10)/3

x⁰ = 13.84

c) P(x ≥ x⁰) = P(z ≥ z⁰) = 1 - P(z < z⁰)

1 - P(z < z⁰) = 5%

P(z < z⁰) = 95%

z⁰ = 1.65

z° = (x° - μ)/σ

1.65 = (x° - 10)/3

x⁰ = 14.95

In an economy open to international trade ________.
A) saving equals investment in equilibrium
B) saving is the difference between net exports and investment
C) saving equals investment as long as the economy has no exports
D) saving equals investment as long as NX

Answers

Answer: D) saving equals investment as long as NX = 0

Explanation:

The last option was incomplete as it should have said ...NX = 0.

The Income/GDP of a country that is open to international trade is calculated as follows:

Income = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Net exports

Y = C + I + G + NX

If NX = 0 then the formula becomes:

Y = C + I + G

Investment in this scenario is therefore:

I = Y - C - G

This is the same as savings as savings is calculated by subtracting consumption and government spending from the total income. This is because government spending is derived from taxes so the cash that people get to save is their income less than their taxes and consumption expenses.

S = Y - C - G = Y

Start Inc. has 5,000 shares of 6%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2012. What is the annual dividend on the preferred stock? Group of answer choices $60 per share $30,000 in total $50,000 in total $0.60 per share

Answers

Answer:

$30,000 in total

Explanation:

The annual dividend on preferred stock can be determined based on the dividend rate, in other words, the annual dividend is the dividend rate multiplied by the face value of the preferred stock as shown thus:

annual dividend on preferred stock=number of preferred shares outstanding*par value per share*dividend rate

number of preferred shares outstanding=5,000

par value per share=$100

dividend rate=6%

50,000 shares refer to the number of common stocks outstanding

annual dividend on preferred stock=5000*$100*6%

annual dividend on preferred stock=$30,000

dividend per share=$30000/5000=$6

Joyce Murphy runs a courier service in downtown Seattle. She charges clients $0.50 per mile driven. Joyce has determined that if she drives 3,300 miles in a month, her total operating cost is $875. If she drives 4,400 miles in a month, her total operating cost is $1,095.
Required:
1. Using the high-low method, determine Joyce's variable and fixed operating cost components.
2. Complete the contribution margin income statement for Joyce's service assuming she drove 3,700 miles last month. (Assume this falls within the relevant range of operations).

Answers

Answer:

Variable operating cost per mile = $0.2

Fixed operating cost = $215

Income  at 3,700 miles = $895

Explanation:

The variable cost per mile =

(cost at high activity - cost at low activity)/(high activity - low activity)

Fixed operating cost = cost at high activity - (VC/mile × high activity)

So we can apply the formulae as follows:

The variable cost per mile = (1,095 - 875)/(4,400-3,300)= $0.2 per mile

Fixed cost = $1,095 - (0.2×4,400)=$215

Variable operating cost per mile = $0.2

Fixed operating cost = $215

Contribution margin income statement

                                                                                $

Sales value = (3,700 miles × $0.50 per mile)       1,850

Variable cost    (3,700×  $0.2)                               (740)

Contribution                                                             1,110

Less Fixed cost                                                       (215)

Required:
What do you think the ex-dividend price will be?

Answers

Answer:

$89.59

Explanation:

After tax dividend = Dividend * (1-Tax)

After tax dividend = $5.70 * (1-20%)

After tax dividend = $5.70 * 0.8

(Do not round intermediate computations.)

Answers

Answer:

$101,904.6

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold using the average cost method is shown below:

Beginnig Inventory 285 at $157 = $44,745

Purchases   485 at $177 = $85,845

Purchases   185 at $217 = $40,145

Total cost = $170,735

Now  

Total number of units is

= 285 + 485 + 185

= 955

Now  

Average Cost per unit is

= $170,735 ÷ 955

=$ 178.78

And, finally

Cost of goods Sold is

If Alpha produced 6 pearls and 15 pineapples, while B produced 30 pearls and 8 pineapples before the trade, we can calculate the opportunity cost for each island. For island Alpha, their opportunity cost will be:

6 pearls = 15 pineapples

1 pearl = 15/6 pineapples

1 pearl = 2.5 pineapples

Therefore, the opportunity cost of pearls for A is 2.5 pineapples

For island Beta, their opportunity cost will be:

30 pearls = 8 pineapples

1 pearl = 8/30 pineapples

1 pearl = 0.27 pineapples

Therefore, the opportunity cost of pearls for A is 0.27 pineapples

b)

It appears that A will increase production of pineapples from 15 pineapples to 25 pineapples, and due to their opportunity cost, will decrease pearl production from 6 pearls to 2 pearls

It appears that B will increase the production of pearls from 30 pearls to 40 pearls, and due to their opportunity cost, will decrease pineapple production from 8 pineapples to 4 pineapples.

Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently created a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following standards for the Maze toy: Direct materials: 7 microns per toy at $0.32 per micron Direct labor: 1.2 hours per toy at $7.20 per hour During July, the company produced 4,600 Maze toys. The toy's production data for the month are as follows: Direct materials: 80,000 microns were purchased at a cost of $0.30 per micron. 39,750 of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month. Direct labor: 5,920 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $46,768.

Required:
1. Compute the following variances for July:
a. The materials price and quantity variances
Material price variance ______
Material quantity variance ______

b. The labor rate and efficiency variances.
Labor rate variance _____
Labor efficiency variance ______

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the direct material rate and quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (0.32 - 0.3)*80,000

Direct material price variance= $1,600 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (7*4,600 - 40,250)*0.32

Direct material quantity variance= $2,576 unfavorable

To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variances, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1.2*4,600 - 5,920)*7.2

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $2,880 unfavorable

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Direct labor rate variance= (7.2 - 7.9)*5,920

Direct labor rate variance= $4,144 unfavorable

Actual rate= 46,768/5,920= $7.9

During 2004, Thor Lab supplied hospitals with a comprehensive diagnostic kit for $120. At a volume of 80,000 kits, Thor had fixed costs of $1,000,000 and a profit before income taxes of $200,000. Due to an adverse legal decision, Thor’s 2005 liability insurance increased by $1,200,000 over 2004. Assuming the volume and other costs are unchanged, what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?

a. $120.00
b. $135.00
c. $150.00
d. $240.00

Answers

Answer:

d. $240.00

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?

2004 CM% = 12.5% ($15/$120)

2005 CM = $2,400,000 ($1,000,000 + $200,000)

2005 CM per unit = $2,400,000/80,000 units

2005 CM per unit= $30 CM per unit;

2005 selling price per unit = $30/.125

2005 selling price per unit= $240

Therefore what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes is $240

Cash
Accumulated Depreciation-Equipment
Equipment
Gain on Sale of Equipment

Answers

Answer:

a. Cost of Equipment = $401300

Residual value = $25100

Useful life = 18 years

Depreciation expense = (Purchase cost - Residual value) / Useful life

Depreciation expense = ($401,300 - $25,100) / 18 years

Depreciation expense = $20,900

b. Book value of equipment on January 1 of year 4 = Purchase cost -(Depreciation expense * 3 years)

= $401300 - ($20900*3 years)

= $401300 - $62700

= $338,600

c. Accumulated Depreciation = Depreciation expense * 3 years

Accumulated Depreciation = $20,900*3

Accumulated Depreciation = $62,700

Gain/ loss on sale = Cash received for sale of asset - Book value of asset at jan 1 of year 4

Loss on sale = $315000 - $338600

Loss on sale = $23600

Journal Entry

Cash $315000 Dr

Accumulated depreciation-equipment $62700 Dr

Loss on sale of equipment $23600 Dr

Equipment $401300 Cr

Which of the following non-GAAP disclosures is LEAST LIKELY to create variance between GAAP and non-GAAP operating income:
a. Goodwill impairment
b. Inventory write down
c. Currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary
d. Gain on sale of an asset

Answers

Answer: c. Currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary.

Explanation:

GAAP refers to the industry standard and it gives a clear view of the operations of a business from a financial point of view. On the other hand, the non-GAAP disclosure deviates from the industry standard and in such case, adjustments are made to show company's operations.

The non-GAAP disclosures which is least likely to create variance between GAAP and non-GAAP operating income is the currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary.
