Economic growth and public policy
Suppose an American buys stock issued by an Argentinian corporation. The Argentinian firm uses the proceeds from the sale to build a new office complex. This is an example of foreign investment in Argentina. Which of the following policies are consistent with the goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries?
a. Provide tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences.
b. Give families cash payments on the condition that their children show up for school and medical exams.
c. Increase taxes on income from savings.
d. Protect property rights and enforce contracts.
Answer:
a. Foreign Portfolio Investment
b. a. Provide tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences.
d. Protect property rights and enforce contracts.
Explanation:
This is an example of Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI). Foreign portfolio investment is when an entity from a foreign country invests in another country by buying the shares of a company in the local country. The American company bought shares in Argentina so the qualifies as FPI.
To increase productivity companies that are pursuing research should be given patents and tax breaks. The tax breaks will enable them have more money to reinvest into the research and the patent will provide incentive to them to continue the research knowing full well that they will be compensated by being the only ones to be able to use the technology invented for some time.
Also protecting property rights and enforcing contracts encourages investment in a country because people will be more trusting of making a return from business dealings. Higher investment leads to more productivity and growth.
A partner invests into a partnership a building with an original cost of $180,000 and accumulated depreciation of $80,000. This building has a $140,000 fair value. As a result of the investment, the partner's capital account will be credited for Group of answer choices $140,000. $100,000. $180,000. $240,000.
Answer:
$140,000

An insurer sells a one-year policy to many people with the following loss distributions:Size of loss Probability of loss50,000 0.00530,000 0.0110,000 0.025,000 0.050 0.915Assume:1) The fair premiums, the administrative expenses and the profit loading are all paid at the beginning of the year;2) The claims are paid one year later;3) The interest rate is 8%;4) The administrative expenses are assumed to be 10% of the fair premiums;5) The profit loading is assumed to be 5% of the expected claim costs.Find the fair premium for the policy.
Answer:
Explanation:
The table can be computed as follows:
Size of loss Probability of loss
50000 0.005
30000 0.01
10000 0.02
5000 0.05
0 0.915
The expected claim for the cost can be calculated by multiply each of the loss sizes with their corresponding probability loss.
i.e.
[tex]= [50000 \times 0.005] + [30000 \times 0.01] + [10000 \times 0.02] + [5000 \times 0.05] + [0 \times0.915][/tex]
[tex]= 250 + 300 + 200 + 250 + 0[/tex]
[tex]= 1000[/tex]
Following the given assumptions:
The fair premium(X) of the policy is calculated as follows:
[tex]X= \dfrac{Expected \ Claim }{(1 + interest \ rate ) }+(Administrative \ Exp.\times X )+ exp. \ profit \ percentage[/tex]
[tex]X= \dfrac{1000}{(1 + 8\%)}+(10 \%\times X) +( 5\% \times 1000)[/tex]
[tex]X= \dfrac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)}+(0.1 X) + 50[/tex]
[tex]X-0.1X= \dfrac{1000}{(1.08)}+ 50[/tex]
0.9 X = 975.9259
X = 975.9259/0.9
Fair Premium (X) = 1084.36
Gilbert is an independent consultant who helps organizations select the right accounting software for their needs. After evaluating a local nonprofit organization, Gilbert recommended an accounting software package that he believes meets specifications, secures documents, and satisfies user requirements. Gilbert did not tell his client that he owns a 25% share in the business that developed the software, and that he will benefit if the organization decides to purchase the software he recommends. Which principle of the Software Engineering Code of Ethics has Gilbert violated?
Answer:
The principle of the Software Engineering Code of Ethics that Gilbert violated is:
Judgement (as related to full disclosure of personal involvement).
Explanation:
Gilbert is required by the Judgement Principle to "disclose those conflicts of interest that cannot reasonably be avoided or escaped." Since Gilbert professionally believes that the software meets specifications, secures documents, and satisfies user requirements, it is not quite apparent if he violated any principle. However, he could have informed his client of his personal interest in the software and also presented other software packages of other companies from which the client could make its independent choice.

When there is a capacity constraint :_________
A. firms are not maximizing their profits during high season.
B. consumers will avoid the producer and go with a firm that has extra capacity.
C. firms face sunk costs when deciding whether or not to expand.
D. firms can use peakload pricing to increase profits during periods of high demand.
Answer:
The answer is "Option D".
Explanation:
Capacity restrictions are indeed a regulation that restricts the number of items that a supplier could be assigned. Trade could be allocated to a leading provider through the constraint, or the amount of trade can be restricted for a supplier, therefore companies having resource constraints may employ peak price and increase revenue during peak times.
When a journal entry is made in a standard cost system to record the liability for direct manufacturing labor costs, the difference between the debits to the work in process accounts and the credits to the payroll payable is:___________a. only the price variance.b. only the efficiency variance.c. the difference between the actual costs incurred and the budgeted costs.d. the price and the efficiency labor variances.
Answer:
When a journal entry is made in a standard cost system to record the liability for direct manufacturing labor costs, the difference between the debits to the work in process accounts and the credits to the payroll payable is:___________
the price and the efficiency labor variances.
Explanation:
The total direct labor cost variance is the difference between the standard cost for actual production and the actual cost in production. It is divided into two main variances. They are the Labor Rate (price) Variance and the Labor Efficiency Variance. Using standard cost system, the cost debited to the work in process account is based on standard cost, while the corresponding credit entry in the payroll payable is based on the actual cost. The labor variance is, therefore, the price and efficiency labor variances.
On July 1, 20X1, Georgia Inc., which uses UOP depreciation, purchases a machine for $16,000; the company estimates that the machine will have a useful life of 15,000 machine hours and a salvage value of $1,000. You are given the following usage data: 20X1 3,000 hours 20X2 2,200 hours 20X3 6,170 hours 20X4 5,300 hours Depreciation expense on the machine for 20X1 is:
a. $1,600
b. $3,000
c. $1,500
d. $3,200
e. $16,000
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $3,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $16,000
Useful life= 15,000 machine hours
Salvage value= $1,000
Machine hours 20X1= 3,000
To calculate the depreciation expense for 20X1, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in hours]*hours operated
Annual depreciation= [(16,000 - 1,000) / 15,000]* 3,000
Annual depreciation= $3,000

The contribution margin ratio is 25% for Grain Company and the break-even point in sales is $200,000. To obtain a target net operating income of $60,000, sales would have to be:_____.
A. $260,000.
B. $440,000.
C. $280,000.
D. $240,000.
Answer:
Option B. 440000
Explanation:
Given the contribution margin = 25%
Sales at break-even point = $200000
Net operating income = $60000
Sales at break even point = TFC / contribution margin ratio
200000 = TFC / 25%
TFC = 50000
Now find the net income:
Net income = Contribution margin - Fixed cost
60000 = Contribution margin - 50000
Contribution margin =60000 + 50000 = 110000
Sales revenue = Contribution margin / contribution ratio
Sales revenue = 110000 / 0.25 = 440000

You are planning to make monthly deposits of $90 into a retirement account that pays 10 percent interest compounded monthly. If your first deposit will be made one month from now, how large will your retirement account be in 19 years?
Answer:
$71,644.27
Explanation:
Future value of the deposit in 19 years = Monthly deposit * [(1 + interest rate/12)^12*No. of years - 1] / (interest rate/12
= $90 * [(1 + 10%/12)^12*19 - 1] / (10%/12)
= $90 * [6.63346333924 - 1] / 0.008333
= $90 * 6.63346333924/0.008333
= $90 * 796.0474
= $71644.269835
= $71,644.27

As a manager, you are trying to decide how to best layoff 10% of your workforce. You are considering laying off the 10% who are the oldest in age, because you feel that they are closest to retirement anyway. Which of the following types of justice would you most likely violate the rules of by doing this?
A. Distributive
B. Procedural
C. Interpersonal
D. Informational
Answer:
B. Procedural
Explanation:
Remember, the procedural type of justice focuses on identifying the best way to treat others in a fair way, such as following the adhering to the rule of no bias when administering justice.
In this scenario, if the manager decides to select and lay off 10% of his workforce based on their age range, he would be unintentionally displaying an age bias in his selection process, which of course most likely violates the rules of this type of justice.
