Answer:
An increase in the net export and Russian interest rate.
Explanation: An open economy is an economy where all players which includes traders, investors and other stakeholders in the economy both within and outside the economy freely conduct their businesses and are controlled by market forces with minimal interference by Government agencies.
According to the open-economy macroeconomic model with the defaulting by the Russian government in 1998 will definitely lead to an increase in net export and an increase in Russian Interest rate.
asper makes a $28,000, 90-day, 8.5% cash loan to Clayborn Co. The amount of interest that Jasper will collect on the loan is: (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer:
$595
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of interest is shown below:-
Amount of interest = Loan amount × Interest rate × Number of days ÷ Number of days in a year
= $28,000 × 8.5% × 90 ÷ 360
= $595
Therefore for computing the amount of interest we simply applied the above formula.
And the same is to be considered

What is the situation when a home currency purchases more goods and services at home than abroad when converted to a foreign currency
Answer:
The domestic currency is undervalued .
Explanation:
In the situation when a home currency purchases more goods and services at home than abroad when converted to a foreign currency, then The domestic currency is undervalued
A currency is undervalue whenever the "exchange rate" value to other currency arround the world is comparatively low. Under the economic condition the whenever the consumer purchase goods from foreign countries they tends to pay high because the value of that home currency is weak and low compare to the foreign currency. Most home currency are usually rate against US dollar.
Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc and Michelle also paid $2,500 of qualifying moving expenses, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500. Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $1,000 child tax credit for Matthew. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $5,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the course of the year.
a) What is Marc and Michelle’s gross income?
b) What is Marc and Michelle’s adjusted gross income?
c) What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?
d) What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
e) What is Marc and Michelle’s taxes payable or refund due for the year? (Use the tax rate schedules.)
f) Complete the first two pages of Marc and Michelle’s Form 1040 (use 2015 forms if 2016 forms are unavailable).
Answer:
A) $76500
B) $72500
C) $24750
D) tax refund of $260
Explanation:
A) calculate Marc and Michelle's gross income
Marc salary = $64000
Michelle's salary = $12000
interest from corporate bond = $ 500
Hence gross income = 64000 + 12000 + 500 = $76500
B) Calculate Marc and Michelle's Adjusted gross income
Gross income = $76500
qualifying moving expenditure = $2500
Alimony paid to previous spouse = $1500
adjusted gross income = 76500 - 2500 - 1500 = $72500
C) Calculate the total amount of Marc and Michelle's deductions from AGI
Standard deduction = $12600
itemized deduction = $6000
personal and dependency allowance = $12150
To calculate the Deductions from AGI we have to add the personal and dependency allowance to the standard deduction ( higher value between standard deduction and itemized deduction )
= 12600 + 12150 = $24750
D ) calculate Marc and Michelle's taxable income
Adjusted gross income = $72500
deduction from itemized deduction = $24750
taxable income = 72500 - 24750 = $47750
E) Determine if Marc and Michelle's taxes payable or refund due for the year
Tax rate schedules :
between $18451 to $79000 : tax rate = $1845 + 15% of income over $18450
Taxable income = $47750
Tax liability = 1845 + (47750 - 18450) * 15% = $6240
child tax credit = $1000
prepayment of taxes = $5500
Tax refund = tax liability - child tax - prepayment of taxes
6240 - 1000 - 5500 = $260
hence there will be a tax return of $260

Mark or Make is a bourbon distillery. Sales have been steady for the past three years, and operating costs have remained unchanged. On January 1, 2019, Mark or Make took advantage of a special deal to prepay its rent for three years at a substantial savings. The amount of the prepayment was $60,000. The income statement items (excluding the rent) are shown here.
2019 2020 2021
Gross profit on sales 350,000 349,000 351,000
Operating expense 210,000 210,000 210,000
Assume that the rental is deducted on the corporate tax purposes in 2019 and that there are no other temporary differences between taxable income and pretax accounting income. In addition, there are no permanent differences between taxable income and pretax accounting income. The corporate tax rate for all three years is 30%.
Required:
Construct income statements for 2019, 2020, and 2021 under the following approaches to interperiod income tax allocation:
a. No allocation
b. Comprehensive allocation
c. Do you believe that no allocation distorts Mark or Make’s net income? Explain.
Answer:
a. No allocation
2019 2020 2021
Gross Profit on Sales 350,000 349,000 351,000
Less: Operating Expense 210,000 210,000 210,000
Gross Revenue 140,000 139,000 141,000
Rent (Prepaid) 0 0 0
Revenue after Rent paid 140,000 139,000 141,000
Less: Corporate Taxes at 30% 42,000 41,700 42,300
Net Income $98,000 $97,300 $98,700
Considerations for No Allocation
- Taxes are to be deducted from Gross Profit.
- Rent not to be deducted from Gross Profit.
b. Comprehensive Allocation
2019 2020 2021
Gross Profit on Sales 350,000 349,000 351,000
Less: Operating Expense 210,000 210,000 210,000
Gross Revenue 140,000 139,000 141,000
Rent (Prepaid) 60,000 60,000 60,000
Revenue after Rent paid 80,000 79,000 81,000
Less: Corporate Taxes at 30% 24,000 23,700 24,300
Net Income 56,000 55,300 56,700
Considerations for Comprehensive Allocation
- Taxes are to be deducted from Gross Profit.
- Rent is to be deducted from Gross Profit.
c. No allocation distorts Mark or Make’s Net Income for all three years. This is because if Rent is not allocated taxes will be calculated on Gross Revenue. That is to say, Rent is a Non-Operating Expense and hence is to be deducted from Revenue to Calculate the Taxes. When Revenue is reduced, obviously, the taxes will be reduced. Hence, less income is seen in Comprehensive Income Statement and more Revenue is seen in Simple - Non Comprehensive Statement.
A check register shows a balance of $152.34. The bank statement shows that a check for $75.00 deposited by the account owner was drawn against insufficient funds and was returned. A charge for $2.00 was also deducted by the bank because of the return. Compute the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
Answer:
$150.34
Explanation:
The $75 check has been drawn against insufficient funds and has been returned so this check won't be included in the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
A charge for $2.0 will be deducted from the balance shown by the cash register above to calculate the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $152.34 - $2
Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $150.34
Glassworks Inc. produces two types of glass shelving, rounded edge and squared edge, on the same production line. For the current period, the company reports the following data.
Rounded Edge Squared Edge Total
Direct materials $ 9,500 $ 21,600 $ 31,100
Direct labor 6,200 11,800 18,000
Overhead (300% of direct labor cost) 18,600 35,400 54,000
Total cost $ 34,300 $ 68,800 $ 103,100
Quantity produced 10,500 ft. 14,000 ft.
Average cost per ft. (rounded) $ 3.27 $ 4.91
Glassworks's controller wishes to apply activity-based costing (ABC) to allocate the $54,000 of overhead costs incurred by the two product lines to see whether cost per foot would change markedly from that reported above. She has collected the following information.
Overhead Cost Category (Activity Cost Pool) Cost
Supervision $ 2,160
Depreciation of machinery 28,840
Assembly line preparation 23,000
Total overhead $ 54,000
She has also collected the following information about the cost drivers for each category (cost pool) and the amount of each driver used by the two product lines. (Round activity rate and cost per unit answers to 2 decimal places.)
Usage
Overhead Cost Category (Activity Cost Pool) Driver Rounded Edge Squared Edge Total
Supervision Direct labor cost ($) $ 6,200 $ 11,800 $ 18,000
Depreciation of machinery Machine hours 400 hours 800 hours 1,200 hours
Assembly line preparation Setups (number) 32 times 93 times 125 times
Required:
Use this information to (1) assign these three overhead cost pools to each of the two products using ABC, (2) determine average cost per foot for each of the two products using ABC, and (3) compare the average cost per foot under ABC with the average cost per foot under the current method for each product. For part 3, explain why a difference between the two cost allocation methods exists.
Answer:
Overhead Cost Category (Activity Cost Pool) Cost
Supervision $2,160
Depreciation of machinery $28,840
Assembly line preparation $23,000
Total overhead $54,000
Supervision
Direct labor cost ($) $6,200 $11,800 $18,000
Depreciation of machinery
Machine hours 400 hours 800 hours 1,200 hours
Assembly line preparation Setups (number)
32 times 93 times 125 times
1)
overhead costs assigned to Rounded Edge
supervision = $2,160 x ($6,200 / $18,000) = $744
depreciation = $28,840 x (400 / 1,200) = $9,613
assembly line preparation = $23,000 x (32/125) = $5,888
total overhead costs = $16,245
overhead costs assigned to Squared Edge
total overhead costs = $54,000 - $16,245 = $37,755
2)
total costs assigned to Rounded Edge
materials $9,500
direct labor $6,200
overhead $16,245
total $31,945
cost per foot = $31,945 / 10,500 = $3.0424 per foot
total costs assigned to Squared Edge
materials $21,600
direct labor $11,800
overhead $37,755
total $71,155
cost per foot = $71,155 / 14,000 = $5.0825 per foot
3)
The average cost per foot of Rounded Edge decreased because lower overhead costs were allocated to their production.
The average cost per foot of Squared Edge increased because higher overhead costs were allocated to their production.
There are 3 factories on the Momiss River. Each emits 2 types of pollutants, labeled P1 and P2, into the river. If the waste from each factory is processed, the pollution in the river can be reduced. It costs $1500 to process a ton of factory 1 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.10 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.45 ton. It costs $1000 to process a ton of factory 2 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.20 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.25 ton. It costs $2000 to process a ton of factory 3 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.40 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.30 ton. The state wants to reduce the amount of P1 in the river by at least 30 tons and the amount of P2 by at least 40 tons.

Your company has sales of this year and cost of goods sold of . You forecast sales to increase to next year. Using the percent of sales method, forecast next year's cost of goods sold. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 temporarily allows 100% bonus depreciation (effectively expensing capital expenditures). However, we will still include depreciation forecasting in this chapter and in these problems in anticipation of the return of standard depreciation practices during your career.
The forecasted cost of goods sold (COGS) is $________
Complete question :
Your company has sales of $101,500 this year and cost of goods sold of $66,300. You forecast sales to increase to $118,900 next year. Using the percent of sales method, forecast next year's cost of goods sold. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 temporarily allows 100% bonus depreciation (effectively expensing capital expenditures). However, we will still include depreciation forecasting in this chapter and in these problems in anticipation of the return of standard depreciation practices during your career The forecasted cost of goods sold (COGS) is $ ___________ (Round to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$77,666
Explanation:
Given the following :
Sales for the year = $101,500
Cost of goods sold =$66,300
Forecasted increase in sales for next year = $118,900
Forecasted cost of goods sold for next year =?
Percentage cost of goods sold for this year:
Cost of goods sold / sales for this year
$66300/$101500
= 0.6532019
Forecasted cost of goods sold for next year:
(Forecasted increase in next year's sale * % cost of goods sold for this year)
= 118,900 * 0.6532019
= $77665.714
= $77666 ( nearest dollar)
If the price of chocolate-covered peanuts decreases from $1.10 to $0.90 and the quantity demanded increases from 190 bags to 210 bags, then the price elasticity of demand (by the midpoint method) is:
Answer:Price elasticity of demand = -0.05
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand using the midpoint method= [tex]\frac{(Q2- Q1)/(Q2+Q1)/2}{(P2- P1)/(P2+P1)/2}[/tex]
where Q =Quantity demanded
P = Price
Price elasticity of demand = ([tex]\frac{(210-190/210+190)/2}{0.90-1.10/ 0.90+1.10)/2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{20/400)/2 }{ -0.2/2)/2}[/tex]
0.025/ -0.05 = -0.05
Price elasticity of demand = -0.05
The Price elasticity of demand tells us how much quantity demanded changes in response to a change in price. Here the Demand for a good is inelastic because the PED coefficient is less than one -0.05
Answer:
Elasticity = 0.5
Explanation:
Elasticity is defined as the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. One of the methods used to calculate it is the midpoint method.
Midpoint method uses average values to calculate the elasticity of demand of a good.
Elasticity = {(Q2 - Q1) ÷ (Q1 + Q2)/2} ÷ {(P2 - P1) ÷ (P1 + P2)/2}
Elasticity = {(210 - 190) ÷ (210 + 190)/2} ÷ {(0.9 - 1.10) ÷ (0.9 + 1.10)/2}
Elasticity = 0.1 ÷ 0.2
Elasticity = 0.5

A customer hands you $3,850 in cash and would like to purchase 14 prepaid cards of
$275 each. The customer hands you the cash with an expired ID, and is expecting you to
process the transaction.
You must decline the transaction for the following reasons: (Select all that apply)
A customer may not purchase more than $2,000 in prepaid cards within a 24-hour period.
We do not sell prepaid cards.
The POS will prompt for customer ID for all prepaid card purchases.
Customer ID must be a valid (not expired) government issued photo ID (US or Canadian
issued driver's license, state ID, passport; US military ID, US Territory ID)
The customer appears to be purchasing prepaid cards just below the threshold where an ID
would be needed.
The customer is attempting to purchase more than the allowable number of gift cards in a
single transaction.
Answer:
You must decline the transaction for the following reasons:
A customer may not purchase more than $2,000 in prepaid cards within a 24-hour period.
Customer ID must be a valid (not expired) government issued photo ID (US or Canadian issued driver's license, state ID, passport; US military ID, US Territory ID)
Customers may not purchase more than $250 at the assisted check out (ACO).
Explanation:
A customer may not purchase more than $2,000 worth of prepaid products in one business day.
POS will prompt cashiers for an ID at $300:
POS will prompt cashiers to scan or manually enter a valid ID for purchases at $300.
Customers may not purchase more than 10 prepaid cards in one day.
Customers may not purchase more than $250 at the assisted check out (ACO).
Managing our prepaid card limits on a daily basis is run, similar to our money order process. The 2,000 daily limits for prepaid/gift cards is accomplished through a partnership with APPRISS.
Note :
The POS Register does not allow a single transaction over $2,000 to ensure CVS/pharmacy is in compliance with federal regulations.
Breaking up transactions to allow the purchase of more than $2,000
in prepaid products to one customer, couple or group is strictly against CVS/pharmacy policy and may result in disciplinary action up to, and including, termination of employment.
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is a leading international mining company of copper, gold, and molybdenum. Its revenues were over $16 billion with net income of nearly $2 billion in a recent year.
Assume that in February 2020, Freeport-McMoRan paid $800,000 for a mineral deposit in Indonesia. During March, it spent $70,000 in preparing the deposit for exploitation. It was estimated that 1,000,000 total cubic yards could be extracted economically. During 2020, 60,000 cubic yards were extracted. During January 2021, the company spent another $6,000 for additional developmental work that increased the estimated productive capacity of the mineral deposit.
Required:
a. Compute the acquisition cost of the deposit in 2020.
b. Compute depletion for 2020.
c. Compute the net book value of the deposit after payment of the January 2021 developmental costs.
Answer:
A. $ 870,000
B. $52,200
C. $823,800
Explanation:
a. Computation for acquisition cost.
Using this formula
Acquistion cost= 800,000 +70,000
Acquistion cost=$ 870,000
2. Computation for depletion
Depletion for 2020=
(870,000/1,000,000)*60,000
Depletion for 2020=0.87*60,000
Depletion for 2020= $52,200
3. Computation for the net book value
Net book value =$870,000 -$52,200 +$6,000
Net book value=$823,800
BENEFITS OF COPORATE GOVERNANCE
Explanation:
Reducing the cost of capital. In today’s volatile environment, the implementation of good governance practices can lead to a reduction in a company’s cost of capital. An organisation that is seen to be stable, reliable and able to mitigate potential risks will be able to borrow funds at a lower rate than those with weak corporate governance.

g A stock just paid a dividend of $2.59. The dividend is expected to grow at 20.07% for two years and then grow at 4.44% thereafter. The required return on the stock is 11.20%. What is the value of the stock?
Answer:
52.43
Explanation:
2.59 x (1.2007) = 3.11
Present value = 3.11 / 1.1120 = 2.80
2.59 x (1.2007²) = 3.73
Present value = 3.73 / 1.1120² = 3.02
3.73 (1.0444) / (0.1120 - 0.0444) = 57.63
Present value = 57.63 / 1.1120² = 46.61
Value of the stock = 2.80 + 3.02 + 46.61 = 52.43

Amy and Mitchell share equally in the profits, losses, and capital of the accrual basis AM Products LLC. The LLC does not need to report financial information to any third parties, so capital accounts are determined using tax rules (rather than GAAP). Amy is a managing member of the LLC (treated as a general partner) and is a U.S. person. At the beginning of the current tax year, Amy's capital account has a balance of $960,000, and the LLC has debts of $624,000 payable to unrelated parties. The debts are recourse to the LLC, but neither of the LLC members has personally guaranteed them. Assume that all LLC debt is shared equally between the partners.

What income, gains, losses, and deductions does Amy report on her income tax return?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Share of ordinary income:
= (Ordinary income - Wages - Depreciation)/2
= (900,000 - 200,000 - 300,000)/2
= 400,000/2
= 200,000
Share of net short term capital gain
= (12,000 - 6,000) × 50%
= 6,000 × 0.5
= 3,000
Share of interest income
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000
Share of charitable contribution deduction
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000
Three explorers are getting kidnapped by an evil tribe deep in the jungle, and their life now depends on their ability to correctly answer the following challenge the evil tribe's chief has for them. The explorers are tied to three trees facing each other and are presented with the chief's 5 wives: 3 brunettes, and 2 blondes. The three explorers are now blindfolded, and the chief picks three of his five wives to stand behind the trees the explorers are tied to, one behind each tree. The remaining two wives disappear from view. Then the blindfolds come off, and each explorer is able to see the two wives that are standing behind his two colleagues, but not the one behind himself. Each explorer now has up to 10 minutes time to think, after which each has to correctly answer what hair color the wife has that is standing behind him, or lose his life. When you, as one of the three explorers, gain your sight after the blindfold comes off, you see two brunettes standing behind your two colleagues. And now your life depends on figuring out who is behind you: a blonde or a brunette?
Answer:
Brunette
Explanation:
Originally there were 3 brunettes and 2 blondes. If once you are able to see, you realize that 2 brunettes are standing behind your friends, that means that behind you there could be one of two blondes or the remaining brunette.
The possibility of the wife behind you being a blonde is 2/3 or 67%, while the chance of her being brunette is only 33%. But this question is not about probability, instead it is about game strategy. I would bet that the wife behind me is a brunette.
Imagine that the two women that you saw were blondes, then you would immediately say brunette. Even if you only saw one blonde wife, your obvious choice would be brunette. This applies to all 3 friends and the chief is gambling against you all 3. He will not give any of you any type of advantage.

Specific, actionable, and justified
Specific but not actionable and not justified
Specific and actionable but not justified
The answer is:
