The product life-cycle theory: Select one: a. was a strong predictor of trade patterns during the 1800s. b. was useful for explaining the pattern of trade during the brief period of American global dominance. c. proved to be a poor explanation of world trade patterns during the 1960s and 1970s. d. remains a relevant theory of explaining international trade in the modern world.
Answer:
b. was useful for explaining the pattern of trade during the brief period of American global dominance.
Explanation:
A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.
Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;
1. Introduction.
2. Growth.
3. Maturity.
4. Decline.
The theory of product life cycle asserts that all the raw materials or parts and the labour used for the manufacturing of the product must come from the specific location or area wherein it was produced for optimum profit.
Hence, the product life-cycle theory was useful for explaining the pattern of trade during the brief period of American global dominance.
Barbara, a product manager at an organic soap manufacturing company, is supposed to interview a candidate for a new job opening in her department. The candidate arrives late to the interview, and therefore Barbara assumes that he will be tardy and uninterested in his job as well. Despite the fact that the candidate meets all the job requirements, Barbara rejects the candidate. Which of the following interview errors has Barbara most likely made?
A. The first-impression error.
B. The similarity error.
C. The contrast error.
D. The non-relevancy error.
Answer:
A. The first-impression error.
Explanation:
It is correct to say that Barbara probably made the first-impression error in the interview, because this error occurs when there are initial judgments about a candidate in the interview, it was what happened when Barbara thought that the candidate would be disinterested at work due to his late to the interview even the candidate meeting all the requirements of the position.
This error can be based on positive and negative judgments and can directly influence a job hiring.

Snug Harbor Realty Co., had a checking account in 1st National Bank. When construction work was obtained by Snug Harbor, its superintendent, Magee, would examine the bills submitted for labor and materials. He would instruct the bookkeeper which bills were approved, and the bookkeeper then prepared the checks in accordance with his instructions. After the checks were signed by the proper official of Snug Harbor, Magee picked them up for delivery. Instead of delivering certain checks, he forged the signatures of the respective payees as endorsers and cashed the checks. The drawee bank then debited the Snug Harbor account with the amount of the checks. Snug Harbor claimed this was improper and sued the bank for the amount of the checks. The bank claimed it was protected by the impostor rule.
Required:
Will the bank be successful?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
The higher court's ruling was reversed, and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
The higher court argued that the trial court erred by failing to understand that the checks were for actual payees for the plaintiff, not names given by the employee, and that the trial court erred in its decision.
The bank will be covered under UCC 3-405 if an employee forged a payee and forged the endorsement on a company check and embezzled the check. The checks were meant for the company's actual payees, so this was not the case.
Michelle is an active participant in the rental condominium property she owns. During the year, the property generates a ($15,000) loss; however, Michelle has sufficient tax basis and at-risk amounts to absorb the loss. If Michelle has $115,000 of salary, $10,000 of long-term capital gains, $3,000 of dividends, and no additional sources of income or deductions, how much loss can Michelle deduct
Answer: $11000
Explanation:
The total income earned by Mitchell will be the addition of the salary, long term capital gain and dividend. This will be:
= $115,000 + $10,000 + $3,000
= $128,000
The exception amount of $25000 can be gotten.
Modified adjusted gross income = $100,000
Phased out amount = ($128000 - $100000) × 50%
= $28000 × 0.5
= $14000
Mitchell's loss = $25000 - $14000 = $11000

Macroeconomic factors that influence interest rate levels
1. T or F: During the credit crisis of 2008, investors around the worls were fearful about the collapse of real estate markets, shaky stock markets, and illiquidity of several securities in the US and several other nations. The demand for US treasury bonds increased, which led to a rise in their price and a decline in their yields.
2. T or F: When the ecnomy is weakening, the Fed is likely to increase short-term interest rates.
3. T or F: When the Fed increses the money supply, short-term interest rates tend to decline.
4. T of F: the Federal Reserve Board has significant influence over the level of economic activity, inflation, and interest rates in the US.

Your job pays you only once a year for all the work you did over the previous 12 months. Today, December 31, you just received your salary of $58,000 and you plan to spend all of it. However, you want to start saving for retirement beginning next year. You have decided that one year from today you will begin depositing 3 percent of your annual salary in an account that will earn 11 percent per year. Your salary will increase at 6 percent per year throughout your career.
Required: How much money will you have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today?
Answer:
The amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the formula for calculating the future value of growing annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n) / (r - g)) ...................................... (1)
Where
FV = Future value or the amount on the date of retirement = ?
M = First annual deposit = Annual salary * Deposit percentage = $58,000 * 3% = $1,740
r = annual interest rate = 11%, or 0.11
g = salary growth rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of years = 40 years
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,740 * (((1 + 0.11)^40 - (1 + 0.06)^40) / (0.11 - 0.06))
FV = $1,740 * 1,094.30298736951
FV = $1,904,087.20
Therefore, the amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.

Supposed that the daily wage for miners is $110 and that of the muckers is $90 per day. Find the long run cost function for US Iron & Steel Co. (x teams produce 10x tons of iron ore per day.)
Answer:
$200 to produce 10x ton of iron ore
Explanation:
The cost for one day to produce 10x tons of iron ore is calculated as follows.
1 miner and 1 mucker work together to make 10x ton of iron ore where,
1 miners wage = $110
1 mucker wage = $90
This makes a total of $200 to produce 10x ton of iron ore.
The costs in the long run will remain same because the wages are fixed if the wages are negotiable or varies then in the long run the cost function can differ.

9. Stabilization Suppose the US educational system improves, making workers more productive. If the federal reserve is trying to stabilize the price level in response, they should A. do nothing, because prices will not change anyhow. B. do nothing, because prices cannot be prevented from changing in the long run C. sell bonds in open market operations. D. lower the reserve requirement. E. increase the discount rate F. Raise taxes. G. Increase government spending.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
If workers become more productive, the supply curve shifts rightward. As a result prices would fall. In a bid to stabilise price, the federal reserve would conduct an expansionary monetary policy to increase money supply in the economy
Expansionary monetary policy : these are polices taken in order to increase money supply. When money supply increases, aggregate demand increases. reducing reserve requirement and open market purchase are ways of carrying out expansionary monetary policy
Increasing discount rate and selling bonds are examples of contractionary monetary policies. Contractionary monetary policy : these are policies taken to reduce money supply.
Raising tax is an example of contractionary fiscal policy
Increasing government spending is an example of expansionary fiscal policy
Hillary graduates from law school and gets a position in a law firm. At the same time the price of hamburger falls while other food prices have stayed the same. She notices that she buys less hamburger than she did before. Is she violating the law of demand?
Answer:
no, since other things are not held constant, including her income
Explanation:
The law of demand states that price has an inverse relationship with quantity demanded of a good. As price increases the demand reduces, and as price decreases quantity demanded increases.
However this is true when all other factors reman constant.
In the given scenario the price of hamburger has fallen but Hilary buys less of it. This looks like a violation of the law of demand, but her income has changed so the law of demand may not hold here.
All factors do not remain constant.
Hilary's behaviour can be explained by the concept income effect. Where an increase in income leads to the consumer buying more of expensive goods than cheaper ones.
29. Randolph is a 30 percent partner in the RD Partnership. On January 1, RD distributes $22,500 cash and inventory with a fair value of $56,000 (inside basis of $28,000) to Randolph in complete liquidation of his interest. RD has no liabilities at the date of the distribution. Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $53,625. What is the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution
Answer: $3125 capital loss
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, we should note that RD Partnership distributes $22500 cash and inventory with inside basis of $28000.
Since Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $53,625, the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution will be:
= ($22500 + $28000) - $53625
= $50500 - $53625
= -$3125
Therefore, there's a capital loss of $3125

Media outlets often have websites that provide in-depth coverage of news and events. Portions of these websites are restricted to members who pay a monthly subscription to gain access to exclusive news and commentary. These websites typically offer a free trial period to introduce viewers to the website. Assume that during a recent fiscal year, one outlet spent $2,368,800 on a promotional campaign for its website that offered two free months of service for new subscribers. In addition, assume the following information:
Number of months an average new customer stays with the service (including the two free months) 22 months
Revenue per month per customer subscription $21
Variable cost per month per customer subscription $7
Determine the number of new customer accounts needed to break even on the cost of the promotional campaign. In forming your answer:
a. treat the cost of the promotional campaign as a fixed cost
b. treat the revenue less variable cost per account for the subscription period as the unit contribution margin.
Answer: 8,905 customers
Explanation:
Breakeven = Fixed cost / Contribution Margin
Fixed cost = $2,368,800
Contribution margin = Revenue - Variable cost
Revenue will be for 20 months because there were 2 free months:
= 21 * 20
= $420 per customer
Variable cost = 7 * 22
= $154
Contribution margin = 420 - 154
= $266
Breakeven = 2,368,800 / 266
= 8,905 customers

Galactic Inc. manufactures flying drone toys. Sales units for January, February, March, April and May were 320, 300, 372, 332, and 400 respectively. Budgeted production in units for January, February, and March were 315, 318, and 362 respectively. Each unit requires 3 direct labor hours and Galactic’s hourly labor rate is $16 per hour. The company’s variable overhead is $5.00 per unit produced and its fixed overhead is $5,600 per month..
Required:
a. Determine Galactic's direct labor budget for the first quarter.
b. Determine Galactic's manufacturing overhead budget for the first quarter
Answer:
Direct labor costs= $47,760
total manufacturing overhead= $10,575
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 315 + 318 + 362= 995 units
Each unit requires 3 direct labor hours.
Hourly rate= $16
Variable overhead per unit= $5
Fixed overhead= $5,600
First, we need to calculate the direct labor hours:
Direct labor hours= 995*3= 2,985
Now, the direct labor costs:
Direct labor costs= $47,760
Finally, the total manufacturing overhead:
total manufacturing overhead= 5,600 + 5*995
total manufacturing overhead= $10,575
