g The Ricardian equivalence states that if the government cuts taxes without changing current or future expenditure then: a) households will consume more because the marginal propensity to consume is positive b) households will save more because they will expect higher taxes in the future c) households will consume less because they will acquire the debt issued by the government d) households will save less because the tax multiplier is bigger than 1 e) both (a) and (d) f) both (b) and (c)
Answer:
b) households will save more because they will expect higher taxes in the future
Explanation:
The Ricardian Equivalence proposition is one of the pillars of classical economics, which sadly has proven to not work very well in the real world. According to classical economists, and their quantity theory of money plus the Ricardian Equivalence, recessions do not exist because it is impossible for them to exist. But in the real world, that is not true. Recessions exist, e.g. the US is in a recession since the first quarter of 2020 (even before the current health crisis). When real people lose their jobs or are afraid to lose their jobs, their spending habits change.
On the other hand, when real people get a tax refund or tax cut, they generally spend it, they will not save it to pay future taxes. That is why car sales increase during February after checks form the IRS are handed out.
Theoretically, classical economics is great. The problem is that we are human beings, and as such, our behavior cannot be controlled or determined by what we should or should not do. This is exactly why the velocity of money (quantitative theory of money) is not constant.
Cougar Athletics is soliciting bids on a 3-year contract to produce 5,000 t-shirts per year to be given away at athletic events. You have decided to bid on the contract. It will cost you $4 per shirt in variable costs (buying plain t-shirts and paying an employee to imprint them) and $8,000 per year in fixed costs. A t-shirt printing machine will cost $17,500. The machine will be depreciated to zero over its 3-year life and it will not have any salvage value. There are no net working capital implications for the project. If your tax rate is 21% and your required return on this project is 12%, how much would you bid for the contract? State your answer as the annual sales amount (to 2 decimal places, $XX,XXX.XX), not the per-unit price. Write up your solutions by hand and email them to me after the exam (do NOT send a spreadsheet).
Answer:
$7.1345 per shirt
Explanation:
depreciation expense per year = $17,500 / 3 = $5,833
initial outlay = -$17,500
cash flow year 1 = [(5,000X - $20,000 - $8,000 - $5,833.33) x 0.79] + $5,833.33 = 3,950X - $20,895
cash flow year 2 = [(5,000X - $20,000 - $8,000 - $5,833.33) x 0.79] + $5,833.33 = 3,950X - $20,895
cash flow year 3 = [(5,000X - $20,000 - $8,000 - $5,833.33) x 0.79] + $5,833.33 = 3,950X - $20,895
$17,500 = (3,950X - $20,895)/1.12 + (3,950X - $20,895)/1.12² + (3,950X - $20,895)/1.12³
$17,500 = 3,526.79X - $18,656.25 + 3,148.92X - $16,657.37 + 2,811.53X - $14,872.65
$17,500 = 9,487.24X - $50,186.27
$67,686.27 = 9,487.24X
X = $67,686.27 / 9,487.24 = $7.1345 per shirt
3. Keim, Inc. manufactures baseball gloves that normally sell for $40 each. Keim currently has 1,000 defective gloves in inventory that have $30 of materials, labor, and overhead assigned to each glove. The defective gloves can either be completely repaired at a cost of $25 per glove or sold as is at a reduced price of $18 per glove. Keim would be better off by: a. $3,000 to sell
Answer:
selling the defective gloves as they are results in a $3,000 higher gain
Explanation:
the manufacturing costs of the defective gloves should be considered a sunk cost since they cannot be recovered:
alternative 1, sell defective gloves = $18 x 1,000 = $18,000 gain
alternative 2, repair the gloves and sell them at normal price = ($40 - $25) x 1,000 = $15,000 gain
alternative 1 (selling the defective gloves as they are) results in a $3,000 higher gain
Consider the following information on returns and probabilities: Invest 1/2 of your money in Asset A and 1/2 in Asset B. State Probability A B Boom .25 12% 4% Bust .75 6% 18% What is the expected return for the portfolio
Answer: 11%
Explanation:
Find the expected return in both Booms and Busts;
0.5 of your money is in Asset A and Asset B each.
Boom;
= (0.50 * 12%) + (0.50 * 4%)
= 8%
Bust
= (0.50 * 6%) + (0.50 * 18%)
= 12%
Portfolio expected return = (0.25 * 8%) + (0.75 * 12%)
= 11%

assume the following the standard price per pound is 2.00 the standard quantity of pounds allowed per unit of finished goods is 4 pounds the actual quantity of materials purchased and used in production is 50000 pounds the company produced 13000 units of finished goods during the period the actual price per pound of direct materials is closest to
Answer: $2.28
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the actual price per pound of direct materials will be calculated as:
Material Price Variance = (14000)
Since material price valriance is the actual price deducted from the standard price for actual quantity that was used during production process. This will be:
(14000) = [(2 × 50000)] - [Actual Price × 50000]
(14000) = (100000) - (actual price × 50000)
(Actual Price × 50000) = 100000 + 14000
Actual Price × 50000) = 114000
Actual Price = 114000 / 50000
Actual price = 2.28

Moss exchanges a warehouse for a building he will use as an office building. The adjusted basis of the warehouse is $600,000 and the fair market value of the office building is $350,000. In addition, Moss receives cash of $150,000. What is the recognized gain or loss and the basis of the office building?
Answer:
$0 and $450,000.
Explanation:
Calculation for What is the recognized gain or loss and the basis of the office building
Calculation for the recognized gain or loss
Using this formula
Recognized gain or loss =Amount realized -(Adjusted basis-Realized loss)
Let plug in the formula
Recognized gain or loss= ($350,000 + $150,000) -( $600,000-$100,000)
Recognized loss =($500,000-$500,000)
Recognized loss =$0
Therefore the Recognized loss will be $0
Calculation for the basis of the office building
Using this formula
Basis of the office building=FMV+Postponed loss
Let plug in the formula
Basis of the office building= $350,000+$100,000
Basis of the office building= $450,000
Therefore the Basis of the office building will be $450,000
