Creighton Bicycles and Repair conducted a survey and discovered that among customers who had tried both bike shops, its successful cross-town competition was preferred about 75% of the time. The most frequently cited reason was customer service. This information would be most helpful to introduce to employees during which stage of Lewin's change model
Answer:
Creighton Bicycles and Repair
This information would be most helpful to introduce to employees during Unfreezing stage of Lewin's change model.
Explanation:
The unfreezing stage is the best time to introduce information that challenges the status quo because it will help to prepare Creighton Bicycles and Repair employees to accept that change is inevitable. Creighton Bicycles and Repair should not be satisfied with 75% when it can attain 100% preference for its cross-town competition and other measurable indices. The unfreezing stage convinces organization people that things must change. This information cannot be introduced during the change stage or the refreezing stage.
A firm is operating in the United States with only two other competitors in the industry. a. It is likely this industry would be characterized as: multiple choice 1 monopolistically competitive. perfectly competitive. oligopoly. pure monopoly. b. Firms in this industry will likely earn: multiple choice 2 a normal profit. an economic profit. an economic loss. c. If foreign firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that: multiple choice 3 economic profits will fall.
Answer:
a. oligopoly.
b. an economic profit.
c. economic profits will fall.
Explanation:
An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.
Hence, it is a market structure that is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is either similar or identical products and dominance by few firms.
The characteristics of an oligopolistic market structure are;
I. Mutual interdependence between the firms.
II. Market control by many small firms.
III. Difficult entry to new firms.
Hence, a firm operating in the United States of America with only two other competitors in the industry is likely to be an industry that would be characterized as oligopoly.
Additionally, business firms operating in this industry (oligopolistic market) will likely earn an economic profit. Also, if foreign business firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that economic profits will fall because the industry is now being competitive and controlled by other business firms.
In economics, market structure refers to how different industries are distinguished depending on the degree and form of product and services rivalry. It's based on the features that influence the outcomes and behaviors of businesses in a given market.
a) An oligopoly is a business that operates in the United States with only two other competitors in the same industry.
Reason:
An oligopoly is a market structure with a small number of enterprises and high entry barriers. A competitive environment in which there are just a few vendors reveals to be Oligopoly because there are only two competitors available in the business.
b) Oligopolistic businesses will almost certainly make an economic profit.
Reason:
In an oligopoly, all firms would have to work together to raise prices and make a bigger profit. The bulk of oligopolies form in industries where goods are essentially homogeneous and give essentially the same advantage to customers.
c) Economic earnings are expected to diminish or fall if international enterprises begin to supply the product, increasing the number of competitors.
Reason:
As the supply curve changes to the right, the market price begins to fall, and as a result, existing and new enterprises' economic earnings fall. Due to the entry of new enterprises, which pulls down the market price, economic profit is zero in the long term.

A researcher was interested in the relationship between the number of texts sent in a day and the number of e-mails sent in a day by employees at a certain company. Using 15 data values, a 90 percent confidence interval for the slope of a regression model was found to be (2.31, 3.47). The researcher claims that the interval would have been narrower with a different sample size if all other things remained the same. Which of the following sample sizes would make the researcher's claim NOT true?
A. 14
B. 16
C. 20
D. 30
E. 100
Answer:
A. 14
Explanation:
the researcher claims that the width of the interval would have been smaller if the sample had been different, and in this case different refers to larger. The original sample included only 15 people, so in order to increase the data sample, you must include more than 15 people. That is why 14 doesn't make sense.

Graham Corp. has 1,000 cartons of oranges that were harvested at a cost of $30,400. The oranges can be sold as is for $36,400. The oranges can be processed further into orange juice at an additional cost of $13,000 and be sold at a price of $53,000. The net benefit (additional income) from processing the oranges into orange juice instead of selling as is would be:rev: 12_08_2020_QC_CS-243270Multiple Choice$(3,600).$16,600.$3,600.$40,000.$(16,600).
Answer:
c. $3,600
Explanation:
The total cost of orange juice = $30,400 + $13,000
The total cost of orange juice = $43,400
So, the profit on the orange juice = $53,000 - $43,400 = $9,600
Profit when oranges are sold without juice = $36,400 - $30,400
Profit when oranges are sold without juice = $6,000
So, extra income = $$9,600 - $6,000 = $3,600
Thus, the net benefit (additional income) from processing the oranges into orange juice instead of selling as is would be is $3,600

An oligopolistic market structure is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is difficult entry because barriers are significant. What are some other characteristics of this market structure? Check all that apply. Market control by a few large firms Either homogeneous or differentiated products Interdependence among firms Neither interdependence nor dependence among firms Market control by many small firms
Answer:
Market control by a few large firms Either homogeneous or differentiated products Interdependence among firmsExplanation:
An Oligopolistic market structure is very concentrated which means that it is controlled by a few large firms who can decide to collude to influence market prices.
There is interdependence among the firms as the pricing decision of one firm affects the rest because it could either increase or decrease the market share that each firm enjoys. e.g. if one firm charges a lower price and the other firms don't, the lower price company will gain market share.
The goods sold in this market are either homogeneous or differentiated products which is why there is so much interdependence because products can be substituted.

Her net business profit on her Schedule C for the year is $196,000. What is her self-employment tax liability and additional Medicare tax liability for 2020
Answer:
Self employment tax liability = $22,323.97Additional Medicare tax liability = $0Explanation:
According to the IRS, the amount subject to self-employment tax is 92.35% of net income from self-employment for the year.
Alice's taxable income is:
= 92.35% * 196,000
= $181,006
Self employment tax-liability:
Social security tax for 2020 is 12.4% for the first $137,700 of income.
= 12.4% * 137,700
= $17,074.80
Medicare tax:
= 2.9% on taxable income
= 2.9% * 181,006
= $5,249.17
Self-employment tax is:
= 17,074.80 + 5,249.17
= $22,323.97
Additional Medicare tax applies on only amounts above $200,000 so it is $0 in this case.
Two years ago, Kimberly became a 30 percent partner in the KST Partnership with a contribution of investment land with a $10,000 basis and a $16,000 fair market value. On January 2 of this year, Kimberly has a $15,000 basis in her partnership interest, and none of her pre-contribution gain has been recognized. On January 2 Kimberly receives an operating distribution of a tract of land (not the contributed land) with a $12,000 basis and an $18,000 fair market value.
a. What is Kimberly’s remaining basis in KST after the distribution?
b. What is KST’s basis in the land Kimberly contributed after Kimberly receives this distribution?
Answer:
A. $6,000
B. $13,000
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine Kimberly’s remaining basis in KST after the distribution
Basis in KST$ 15,000
Add §737 gain $3,000
($15,000-$12,000)
Deduct Carryover basis in land ($12,000)
Remaining basis in KST $6,000
($15,000+$3,000-$12,000).
Therefore Kimberly’s remaining basis in KST after the distribution will be $6,000
B. Calculation to determine KST’s basis in the land Kimberly contributed after Kimberly receives this distribution
KST basis upon contribution $10,000
Add Kimberly’s §737 gain $3,000
($15,000-$12,000)
KST’s basis in land $13,000
($10,000+$3,000)
Therefore KST’s basis in the land Kimberly contributed after Kimberly receives this distribution is $13,000
Financial analysts have estimated the returns on shares of the Goldday Corporation and the overall market portfolio under two economic states nature as follows. For Goldday the state dependent returns are -0.04 in recession, and 0.10 in an economic boom. For the market the state dependent returns are -0.06 in recession,and 0.14 in boom. The analyst estimates that the probability of a recession is 0.50 while the probability of an economic boom is 0.50. Compute the covariance between Goldday and the market.'
Answer:
covariance = 0.0070
Explanation:
Given data :
probability of recession = 0.5 , probability of economic boom = 0.5
For Goldday corporation
During Recession
probability = 0.5
return on stocks = -0.04
expected return = 0.5 * - 0.04 = - 2.00%
deviation 1 = - 7% ( -0.04 - average return )
Prob * deviation ^2 = 0.5 * (- 7% )^2 = 0.002450
During Economic boom
probability = 0.5
return on stocks = 0.10
expected return = 0.5 * 0.10 = 5%
deviation 1 = 0.10 - average return = 7%
Prob * deviation^2 = 0.5 * ( 7%)^2 = 0.002450
Hence for Goldday corporation
average return = ∑ expected returns = 3%
variance = ∑ Prob * deviation^2 = 0.0049
std = √0.0049 = 7%
Note : perform the same calculation for the Market
For Market
average return = ∑ expected returns = 4%
variance = ∑ Prob * deviation^2 = 0.01000
std = √ variance = 10%
Determine the covariance between Goldday and the MARKET
= ∑ ( deviation 1 * deviation 2 * probability )
= recession + economic boom
= ( - 7% * - 10% * 0.5 ) + ( 7% * 10% * 0.5 )
= 0.0035 + 0.0035 = 0.0070 ---------> answer
According to the most favored nation clause (Article I of GATT), which of the following is true?
A. Tariffs on products imported from countries belonging to the WTO must be lower than tariffs on the same products imported from countries that are not members of the WTO.
B. A country can lower tariffs on imports from countries with most favored nation trading status without changing tariffs on imports from other members of the WTO.
C. If a country gives a trade advantage to one partner, then this advantage must be extended to all its trading partners belonging to the WTO.
D. If a country imposes higher tariffs on one trading partner, then those high tariffs must be imposed on all its trading partners belonging to the WTO.
Answer:
C. If a country gives a trade advantage to one partner, then this advantage must be extended to all its trading partners belonging to the WTO.
Explanation:
The correct option is - C. If a country gives a trade advantage to one partner, then this advantage must be extended to all its trading partners belonging to the WTO.
Reason -
Most-favoured-nation (MFN): treating other people equally Under the WTO agreements, countries cannot normally discriminate between their trading partners. Grant someone a special favour (such as a lower customs duty rate for one of their products) and you have to do the same for all other WTO members.
Dana Co. had a deferred tax liability balance due to a temporary difference at the beginning of 2019 related to $900,000 of excess depreciation. In December of 2019, a new income tax act is signed into law that lowers the corporate rate from 40% to 30%, effective January 1, 2021. If taxable amounts related to the temporary difference are scheduled to be reversed by $450,000 for both 2020 and 2021, Dana should increase or decrease deferred tax liability by what amount
Answer:
$45,000 decrease
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount that Palmer should increase or decrease deferred tax liability
Increase or decrease deferred tax liability =$450,000 × (.30 - .40)
Increase or decrease deferred tax liability=-$45,000 decrease
Therefore Dana should DECREASE deferred tax liability by $45,000
Suppose the economy is experiencing an output gap of –3%. a. Select each response that indicates how monetary policy or fiscal policy can be used to raise actual output toward potential output. The government can increase its spending or reduce taxes, which will shift the IS curve to the right and increase GDP. The Fed can reduce the interest rate, which will shift the MP curve down and increase GDP. Firms can increase production, which will shift the IS curve to the right and increase GDP. The Fed can increase the interest rate, which will shift the MP curve up and reduce GDP. The government can increase taxes, which will shift the IS curve to the left and reduce GDP. b. The policies you identified in part a if used together, will cancel each other out, and the economy will remain in output gap of -3%. cannot be used together because each moves the economy in a different direction. can be used together to raise actual output toward potential output.
Answer:
Suppose the economy is experiencing an output gap of –3%
a. Monetary policy or fiscal policy can be used to raise actual output toward potential output when:
The government can increase its spending or reduce taxes, which will shift the IS curve to the right and increase GDP.
The Fed can reduce the interest rate, which will shift the MP curve down and increase GDP.
b. The policies identified in part a,
can be used together to raise actual output toward potential output.
Explanation:
Investment-Savings (IS) curve shows all the levels of interest rates and output (GDP) at which an economy's total desired investment (I) equals its total desired saving (S). This equilibrium can be achieved at a level of interest rate that maximizes output. The IS curve slopes downward, and to the right because at a lower interest rate, investment is higher, which produces more total output (GDP) for the economy.
We have implicitly assumed that Dallas Airline starts paying the salary of $15,000 per month only at the end of the two-month school. Such a practice drew significant complaints from the trainees. Dallas Airline decided to change its practice and pay the trainees during the training session as well. How would the new policy change Dallas Airline's class size
Answer:
The new policy will attract more trainees to the Dallas Airline school, thus increasing the class size to the maximum capacity.
Explanation:
The size of the class will increase dramatically. The Dallas Airline School may not have enough space to accommodate the training applicants. The payment of the salary during training is a motivating factor to trainees. It eliminates the significant complaints from the trainees. It levels the training ground for the Dallas Airline School to become consistent in practice with other airlines schools.
You have your choice of two investment accounts. Investment A is a 6-year annuity that features end-of-month $1,980 payments and has an interest rate of 7 percent compounded monthly. Investment B is an annually compounded lump-sum investment with an interest rate of 9 percent, also good for 6 years.
How much money would you need to invest in B today for it to be worth as much as Investment A 6 years from now? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
$112,166
Explanation:
the future value of Investment A:
payment = $1,980
n = 6 x 12 = 72
i = 9% / 12 = 0.75%
FVIFA = [(1 + i)ⁿ- 1 ] / i = [(1 + 0.0075)⁷² - 1 ] / 0.0075 = 95.007
future value = $1,980 x 95.007 = $188,114
now we need to determine the PV of investment B:
PV = $188,114 / (1 + 9%)⁶ = $112,166
Answer: $105,264.24
Explanation:
Step 1) Calculate Future Value of Investment A
Rate: .07/12 = .58%
Payment: $1,980
Term: 72 (6 years * 12 months)
Future Value: ?
In excel -> FV(.58,72,-1980,0)
Future Value = $176,538.67
Step 2) Calculate Present Value of Investment B using Investment A Future Value
Rate: .09
Payment: $0
Term: 6
Future Value: $176,538.67 (from step 1)
PV(.09,6,0,-176538.67)
Present Value = $105,264.24

rdan Corporation expects to incur indirect overhead costs of $172,550 per month and direct manufacturing costs of $18 per unit. The expected production activity for the first four months of the year are as follows. January February March April Estimated production in units 5,300 7,300 4,800 6,400 Required Calculate a predetermined overhead rate based on the number of units of product expected to be made during the first four months of the year. Allocate overhead costs to each month using the overhead rate computed in Requirement a. Calculate the total cost per unit for each month using the overhead allocated in Requirement b.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total estimated overhead costs= (172,550*4)= $690,200
Total estimated units= 23,800
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 690,200 / 23,800
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $29 per unit
Now, we can allocate overhead to each month:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
January= 29*5,300= $153,700
February= 7,300*29= $211,700
March= 29*4,800= $139,200
April= 29*6,400= $185,600
Finally, the unitary total cost:
Unitary cost= 18 + 29= $47
Blu-Rays can be produced at a constant marginal cost of $5 per disk, and Superhero Studios is releasing the Blu-Rays for its last two major films. The Blu-Ray for Obscure-Man is priced at $20 per disk, and the Blu-Ray for Team-Up Flick 17: The Final Chapter, Part 1 is priced at $30 per disk. What are the price elasticities of demand for these two movies
Answer:
Obscure-Man = -1.33Team-Up Flick 17: The Final Chapter, Part 1 = -1.2Explanation:
Price elasticity based on the variables given here, can be calculated using the formula:
= Price / (Marginal cost - Price)
Obscure-Man:
= 20/ (5 - 20)
= -1.33
Team-Up Flick 17: The Final Chapter, Part 1:
= 30 / (5 - 30)
= -1.2
A small factory is considering replacing its existing coining press with a newer, more efficient one. The existing press was purchased three years ago at a cost of $200000, and it is being depreciated according to a 7-year MACRS depreciation schedule. The factoryâs CFO estimates that the existing press has 6 years of useful life remaining. The purchase price for the new press is $280000. The installation of the new press would cost an additional $20000, and this installation cost would be added to the depreciable base. The new press (if purchased) would be depreciated using the 7-year MACRS depreciation schedule although, as noted below, it would be retired/sold after 6 years. Interest expenses associated with the purchase of the new press are estimated to be roughly $4000 per year for the next 6 years.
The appeal of the new press is that it is estimated to produce a pre-tax operating cost savings of $81000 per year for the next 6 years. Also, if the new press is purchased, the old press can be sold for $30000 today. The CFO believes that the new press would be sold for $45000 at the end of its 6-year useful life. Assume that NWC would not be affected. The company has an average tax rate of 29% and a marginal tax rate of 34%. The cost of capital (i.e., the discount rate) for this project is 8.5%.
Required:
Develop the incremental cash flows for this replacement decision and use them to calculate NPV and IRR. Next, make a conclusion about whether or not the existing coining press should be replaced at this time.
Answer:
1. Incremental Cash Flows:
Cash Flows Total PV of annual
Cash Flows
After-tax operating savings $57,510 $261,877
Sale proceeds from old press 30,000 30,000
Sale proceeds from new press 45,000 27,583
Total incremental cash inflows $132,510 $319,460
Cost of new press $280,000 $280,000
Installation cost of new press 20,000 20,000
Interest expense (associated) 4,000 18,214
Total incremental cash outflows $340,000 $318,214
2. NPV $1,246 ($319,460 -$318,214)
IRR = the cost of capital that will cause the NPV to be zero. Since it is $1,246, to find the rate, that makes it zero, we do the following calculations:
$1,246/$318,214 * 100 = 0.4%
Cost of capital = 8.5%
3. IRR = 8.5 - 0.4 = 8.1%
4. Conclusion: The existing press should be replaced at this time.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of old press = $200,000
Estimated useful life remaining = 6 years
Cost of new press = $280,000
Installation cost = $20,000
Total cost of new press $300,000
Interest expenses per year for the new press = $4,000
Cost Savings from new press:
Pre-tax operating cost savings = $81,000 per year
After-tax savings = $57,510 ($81,000 * (1 - 29%))
Sales proceeds from old press = $30,000 today
Sale proceeds from new press = $45,000 (at the end of its 6-year life)
Average tax rate = 29%
Marginal tax rate = 34%
Cost of capital = 8.5%

a. As far as the tax code is concerned, HeadBook will increase its expenses by $5,000 in either case. If it pays for the policy, it incurs a $5,000 health care expense. If it raises Vanessa’s salary by $5,000, it incurs $5,000 of salary expense. If HeadBook is profitable and pays corporate profit taxes at a marginal 35 percent rate, by how much will HeadBook’s tax liability be reduced in either case?
Answer: $1,750
Explanation:
Incurring a health insurance cost of $5,000 or increasing salaries by $5,000 will have the same effect on the taxes because they will both be removed from the income before the taxes are calculated.
The reduction in tax in either case is:
= Expense * Tax rate
= 5,000 * 35%
= $1,750
