For this assignment, research this linkage. How did the recession impact businesses/managers at the macro and micro levels? You may use one company as the basis of your research.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

One typical example of this linkage between the economy at the macroeconomic level, and business decisions at the macroeconomic and microeconomic level, is what happened with Lehman Brothers in 2008.

Explanation:

Lehman Brothers was one of the main investment banks in the United States. During the years prior to the financial crisis, Lehman Brothers decided to pursue a risky but profitable strategy of over leveraging -lending a lot more money than they had as deposits.

Once the financial crisis hit, a macroeconomic event, it affected the company at the macro and micro level. At the macro level because Lehman Brothers itself ceased to exist as it went bankrupt, and at the micro level, because it had to enter a process to pay off some debtors, and some of the employees who were laid off due to the dissolution of the firm.

To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (19.8 - 20.7)*4,900

Direct material price variance= $4,410 unfavorable

Actual price= 101,430/4,900= $20.7

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (8.6*650 - 4,600)*19.8

Direct material quantity variance= $19,602 favorable

Answers

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

Answers

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

businesses do not maximise outputs from the given inputs​

Answers

Answer:

Businesses that do not maximise outputs from the given inputs are inefficient, and probably have diseconomies of scale, the opposite of economies of scale, that ocurrs when output increases proportionally less than the inputs that are invested.

This situation arises as a result of an economic law, the law of diminishing retuns. According to this economic law, there is a point in the production process in which the use of additional units of input do not result in a proportional yield, in other words, when a business presents diminishing returns, the more inputs it adds, the less output grows in proportion to the inputs.

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.

Answers

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.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

1. The predetermined overhead rate is

= $0.50 + ($225,000 ÷ 50,000 direct labor hours)

= $.50 + $4.5

= $5

2. The total job cost is

= $44,850 + $28,200 + 200 × $5

= $44,850 + $28,200 + $1,000

= $74,050

The budget line income is:

105=4x +3y

The equation MRTS is:

[tex]P_x = 4[/tex]

Using the equation MRTS:

[tex]\dfrac{MU_x}{MU_y } =\dfrac{ Px}{Py}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{ 0.8 \times x^{-0.2}\times y^{0.2} }{0.8 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{-0.8}} = \dfrac{4}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{4y }{x} = \dfrac{4}{3}[/tex]

4x = 12y

x = 12y/4

x = 3y

Replacing the value of x into the budget line income, we have:

105 = 4x + 3y

105 = 4(3y) + 3y

105 = 12y + 3y

105 = 15y

y = 105/15

y = 7

Then, from x = 3y

x = 3(7)

x = 21

Thus, she will consume 21 gapefruits

The Federal Open Market Committee decides that it must increase the money supply by $50. Committee members tell you the reserve ratio is 0.2. They ask you what directive they should give to the open market desk. You tell them, being as specific as possible, using the money multiplier.

The Fed should _____________$ worth of government bonds.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

As we know that

Multiplier Effect = 1 ÷ Reserve Ratio

So,  

Reserve ratio = 1 ÷ 0.2

= 5

Now this means that $1 million deposit result into increased by $5 million in the overall money supply

So the money supply should rise by $50 and it should be $10 of the government securities  

Salaries and Wages Expense appears on the _________, while Salaries and Wages Payable is a(n):a. Balance sheet; expense on the balance sheetb. Income statement; expense on the income statementc. Income statement; liability on the balance sheetd. Balance sheet; liability on the income statement

Answers

Answer: income statement ; liability on the balance sheet

Explanation:

It should be noted that wages and salaries expense don't appear on the balance sheet directly. They appear in the income statement.

On the other hand, salaries and wages payable is considered to be a liability on the balance sheet. Therefore, the correct option is "income statement ; liability on the balance sheet".

During the current year, Rothchild, Inc., purchased two assets that are described as follows:
Heavy Equipment
Purchase price, $275,000.
Expected to be used for 10 years, with a residual value at the end of that time of $50,000.
Expenditures required to recondition the equipment and prepare it for use, $75,000.
Patent
Purchase price, $75,000.
Expected to be used for five years, with no value at the end of that time.
Rothchild depreciates heavy equipment by the declining-balance method at 150 percent of the straight-line rate. It amortizes intangible assets by the straight-line method. At the end of two years, because of changes in Rothchild's core business, it sold the patent to a competitor for $35,000.

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.

Answers

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

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.

Answers

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.

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?

Answers

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.
