Which of the following situations generally exists when disinflation occurs?
Select one:
a. the rate of inflation is falling from 5% to 3%
b. the rate of inflation falling from 3% to -2%
c. 3% decrease in inflation and 2% fall in unemployment rate
d. 5% increase in inflation and 3%
increase in unemployment rate
= the rate of inflation is falling from 5% to 3%
Answer:
d. 5% increase in inflation and 3% increase in unemployment rate
Explanation:
Disinflation is a term that describes the slowing down of the rate of inflation. Disinflation will occur when inflation was rising at a high rate, and then it starts to rise at a decreasing rate. Disinflation may be a result of contractionary measures.
Disinflation is a positive situation in the economy because it represents a corrective measure. Inflation was rising at a high rate but has since started to slow down. Disinflation is different from deflation, which is a negative inflation rate. Inflation slowing from 5% to 3% is disinflation.
During 2021, its first year of operations, American Laminating Corporation reported an operating loss of $120 million for financial reporting and tax purposes. The enacted tax rate is 25%. In 2019, American reported a pretax accounting income of $40 million and applies a net operating loss carryforward up to 80% of taxable income. Which of the following is incorrect?
a. Income tax payable in 2018 is zero.
b. Net loss in 2018 is $79 million.
c. The deferred tax asset balance at the end of 2018 is $21 million.
d. The deferred tax asset balance decreases in 2019.
e. Income tax expense in 2019 is zero.
Answer: e. Income tax expense in 2019 is zero.
Explanation:
There will still be an income tax in 2019 so the above statement is incorrect.
American applies net operating loss carryforward up to 80% of taxable income which means that their taxable income is:
= 40,000,000 * ( 1 - 80%)
= $8,000,000
Income tax expense for 2019:
= 25% * 8,000,000
= $2,000,000

5) Clark Imports sold a depreciable plant asset for cash of $35,000. The accumulated
depreciation amounted to $70,000, and a loss of $5,000 was recognized on the sale. Under
these circumstances, the original cost of the asset must have been:
Answer:
$110,000
Explanation:
For depreciation, a loss or gain is realized by subtracting the selling price from the book value. Accumulated depreciation is the total amount that has been deducted as depreciation amount.
I.e., profit or loss = selling price - book value
In this case, a loss of $5000 was realized, the selling price was $35,000. The book value must have been $40,000.
$35,000 - $40,000 = - $5,000
The original cost will be the book value + depreciation amount
=$40,000 +$70,000
=$110,000

An economist will consider the sunk cost of a product line before recommending an improvement to the product. True or false
Answer:
false
Explanation:
Mullineaux Corporation has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 35 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 12 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 5 percent, and the pretax cost of debt is 7 percent. The relevant tax rate is 35 percent.
a. What is Mullineaux's WACC?
b. The companies president has approached you about Mullineaux's capital structure. He wants to know why the company doesn't use more preferred stock financing because it costs less than debt. What would you tell the president?
Answer:
a. Mullineaux's WACC = 0.60*12 + 0.05*5 + 0.35*7*(1 - 0.35)
WACC = 7.2 + 0.25 + 0.35*7*0.65
WACC = 7.2 + 0.25 + 1.5925
WACC = 9.0425%
WACC = 9.04%
b. After tax cost of debt = 7*(1 - 0.35)
After tax cost of debt = 7*0.65
After tax cost of debt = 4.55%
So since after tax cost of debt of 4.55% is less than the preferred cost of 5%, company should use debt in its capital structure.

Loggers are much __________ likely to supply wood to the market if property rights are not enforced.
Classify the source of market failure in each case listed.
a. A house party plays music at a very high volume, disturbing other residents in the neighborhood.
b. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity.
Answer:
Loggers are much more likely to supply wood to the market if property rights are not enforced.
When property rights are not well enforced, ownership of the resource is not well defined either. This will lead to more people taking advantage of the resource like the loggers above. They will supply more wood because the ownership of their resource source is not well defined.
Options for the 2 questions below are Market Failure or Externality.
a. A house party plays music at a very high volume, disturbing other residents in the neighborhood. EXTERNALITY.
This is a negative externality. Negative externalities are when third parties suffer negative consequences as a result of transactions that they are not a party to. The neighbors are not playing music but it is disturbing them.
b. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity. MARKET POWER.
The Utility company is not facing competition in this state and so can set the price it wants. This can lead to market failure simply because the company would have too much market power.
Using the following routing information and a From-To Chart, determine the total flow efficiency of the parts assuming an alphabetical order. Give your results in terms of percentage, not as a decimal value, i.e., 54.3 as opposed to .543.
Part Order Relative Weighted Value
1 R E B D C A S 4
2 R A B C D E S 2
3 R C B D A E S 3
Answer:
hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question
answer: 28.12%
Explanation:
The first table is the allotting of relative weighted value in from to chart and also finding the Total.
The second table is found by multiplying 1-times cell distance in the upper 2-times with cell distance in lower triangular values.
Hence Flow efficiency = (Total / penalty ) * 100
= ( 36 / 128 ) * 100 = 28.12%
Suppose you are conducting an analysis of the financial performance of Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc. over the past three years. The company did not issue new shares during these three years and has faced some operational difficulties. The company has thus pilot tested some new forecasting strategies for better operations management. You have collected the company's relevant financial data, made reasonable assumptions based on the information available, and calculated the following ratios.
Ratios Calculated
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Price-to-cash-flow 6.20 8.06 9.03
Inventory turnover 12.40 14.88 16.67
Debt-to-equity 0.30 0.32 0.38
Based on the preceding information, your calculations, and your assumptions, which of the following statements can be included in your analysis report?
A. The company's creditworthiness has improved over these three years as evidenced by the increase in its debt-to-equity ratio over time.
B. The market value of Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc.'s common shares declined over the three years.
C. A plausible reason why Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc.'s price-to-cash-flow ratio has increased is that investors expect higher cash flow per share in the future.
. An improvement in the inventory turnover ratio could likely be explained by the new sales-forecasting strategies that led to better inventory management.
Answer:
The answer "Option C and Option D".
Explanation:
In Option A, This statement doesn't apply because its rise throughout the debt ratio contributes to a reduction in financial health. In Option B, This statement doesn't apply because the industry value of the stock could not be assumed to decrease. In Option C, This statement applies because the price-to-cash flows increase might be due to shareholders anticipating additional cash flow for each stock. In Option D, This statement is applicable because its increasing inventory selling ratio reflects the enhanced inventory control.Equivalent units for the molding department totaled 18,600 during January for conversion costs. Fifteen thousand units were transferred out to the finishing department. If the items remaining in ending inventory are 40% complete as to conversion costs and 80% complete as to materials, how many physical units are in ending inventory?
Answer:
9,000 units
Explanation:
The 15,000 units transferred to the finishing department were 100% complete with respect to material and conversion cost. The balance 18,600 - 15,000 = 3,600 equivalent units are there at the ending inventory with respect to conversion cost. The ending inventory is 40% complete with respect to conversion cost. These equivalent units have been calculated as below:
=> Physical units in ending inventory * Degree of completion with respect to conversion cost = Equivalent units
Physical units * 40% = 3,600
Physical units = 3,600 / 40%
Physical units = 9,000 units
So, the Physical units in ending inventory is 9,000 units

Do you think people tailor their behavior to suit those in power more than they admit?
Answer:
yes, of course they do
Explanation:
people will always tailor their behavior wether it's against them or for them, depending on how they feel they will act a certain way
Regardless of whether something is working in their favor or against them, people will always adjust their conduct to suit their feelings.
People tailor their behavior to suit those in power more than they admit?I concur that most people behave differently in front of influential people. They modify their actions to suit those in positions of authority. In front of influential individuals, they also refuse to acknowledge the full amount of their subordination.
From a different angle, we must recognize that those in positions of authority do so for a cause. They are required to keep society working properly and in order. Because our supervisors have coercive power over us in addition to their position, we typically perform tasks at work according to their requirements and in their preferred style.
Therefore, If we don't change our conduct to fit their needs, we risk losing our jobs. In other cases, something else that we see as being important to us might take the place of the work. The source is driven into submission or obedience by the fear of losing that "Something."

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is looking at the purchase of a new technology for asphalt paving of major highways. The new machine will cost $1,000,000 and is expected to provide a net revenue of $150,000 per year for 9 years. There is no salvage value for this machine. If MARR=10% per year, what is the exact IRR for this project?
A. 15.15%
B. 13.68%
C. 6.47%
D. 2.14%
Answer:
Option C (6.47%) is the right answer.
Explanation:
The given values are:
New machine's cost,
= $1,000,000
Net revenue,
= $150,000
Time,
= 9 years
MAAR,
= 10% per year
Now,
On taking, i = 5%
⇒ PW(5%) = [tex]-1,000,000 + 150,000(\frac{P}{A} , 5 \ percent, 9)[/tex]
= [tex]-1,000,000 + 1,066,200[/tex]

By interpolation, we get
⇒ [tex]i=5 \ percent + [\frac{66,220-0}{(66,200-(-136,150)} ]\times (10 \ percent - 5 \ percent)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=0.05 + (\frac{66,220}{202,350} )\times 0.05[/tex]

During the year, the Senbet Discount Tire Company had gross sales of $1.14 million. The firm’s cost of goods sold and selling expenses were $533,000 and $223,000, respectively. The firm also had notes payable of $880,000. These notes carried an interest rate of 7 percent. Depreciation was $138,000. The firm’s tax rate was 35 percent.
What was the firm’s operating cash flow? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer:
$319,460
Explanation:
Calculation for the firm’s operating cash flow
First step is to calculate EBIT and Taxes
Sales $1,140,000
Less Cost of goods sold 533,000
Less Selling costs 223,000
Less Depreciation 138,000
EBIT $246,000
Interest 61,600
(7%*$880,000)
Taxable income $184,400
(246,000-61,600)
TAXES 64,540
(35%*$184,400)
Now let calculate the firm’s operating cash flow using this formula
Operating cash flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
Let plug in the formula
Operating cash flow = $246,000 + $138,000 - $64,540
Operating cash flow = $319,460
Therefore the firm’s operating cash flow is $319,460

Suppose you are an economist for Mattel, manufacturer of the doll Barbie, which was making an unsolicited bid to take over Hasbro, manufacturer of the doll G.I. Joe.
a. Would you argue that the relevant market is dolls, preschool toys, or all toys including video games? Why?
1. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is all toys, which is as broad as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
2. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is all toys, which is as narrow as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
3. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is dolls, which is as narrow as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
4. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is dolls, which is as broad as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
b. Would your answer change if you were working for Hasbro?
1. You would want to use the narrowest definition of the market, which would be dolls. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
2. You would want to use the narrowest definition of the market, which would be dolls. This would make it more likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
3. You would want to use the broadest definition of the market, which would be all toys. This would make it more likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
4. You would want to use the narrowest definition of the market, which would be all toys. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
Answer:
a. 1. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is all toys, which is as broad as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
b. 2. You would want to use the narrowest definition of the market, which would be dolls. This would make it more likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
Explanation:
a. In order to avoid anti-trust laws, it would be best that Mattel convinces the authorities that the relevant category is all toys not just a subsection. This will show that the toys made by the new company would have a lot of competition from other toy makers across the board which would reduce their chances of being a monopoly and violate merger guidelines.
b. As the bid is unsolicited, Hasbro might want to defend against it. In which case their strategy should be the exact opposite of that of Mattel and they should try to convince the regulatory boards that they would be in the narrowest of markets which would be dolls. This would mean that the merger has a strong chance of leading to a monopoly and would violate merger guidelines.
