Answer:
Bond Ratings
Companies employ rating agencies such as Moody's and S&P to rate their bonds despite the substantial costs and their voluntariness because ratings by these agencies add a badge of honor to the bonds. It gives investors some level of assurance that the bonds will be honored at maturity and that the pricing is right, given the company's credit risk.
Explanation:
Credit risk rating agencies assess the credit risk of a company or financial product as formal and credit-worthy benchmarks for investment decisions. While companies pay huge costs to have these ratings conducted by the big three, including Moody's, S&P, and Fitch, the main value goes to the potential investors who require the information to decide whether to invest in the rated companies.

Which of the following statements about the composition of the labor
force is correct?
Answer:
since 1948, the percentage of women participating in the labor force has increased
Explanation:
Labor force is the percentage of the adult civilian non-institutional population that is working or actively seeking work. Labor force excludes retired workers. From around 1948, the number of female workers in labor force increased significantly.
According to government statistics, in 1950, women’s labor force participation rate was at 33.9 percent. It increased significantly during the 1970s and 1980s, reaching 57.5 percent in 1990. In 1999, the women’s participation rate was at the peak of 60 percent.
Gold Corp. sells office furniture. In 2020, it sold 200 desks for $500 each. For each desk sold, Gold Corp. distributed a 50% discount coupon for purchase of an office chair valid for two months. Based on historical experience, Gold Corp. expects that approximately 20% of the coupons will be utilized. The chairs purchased with the coupons are priced at $150 and normally discounted 10%. What would be the stand-alone sales price used by Gold Corp. for the coupon when allocating the $500 transaction price to the performance obligations
Answer:
Gold Corp.
The stand-alone sales price is $135
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price of desks = $500 per unit
Selling price of chairs = $150 per unit
Combined price of desks and chairs = $650
50% discount coupon on chairs = $75 (50% * $150)
Normal discount price of chairs = $135 ($150 * 90%)
Combined price of desks and discounted chair = $575 ($500 + $75)
Allocation of transaction price:
Desk = $575 * $500/$635 = $452.76
Chair = $575 * $135/$635 = $122.24
Total = $575

We typically hear of the gains from trade coming through specialization wherein each nation produces more of and exports that good which it produces at relatively less cost, and produces less of and imports that good which it produces at relatively higher cost. Indeed, classical trade theory is based on the benefits from such specialization in production. But, what if the nation cannot move any resources from the production of one good to the production of other and therefore cannot specialize in production
Answer:
Generally theoretical models work only in theory. E.g. perfect competition models exist in theory but no market is really a perfect competition market.
The Ricardian model or the H-O model, or other trade models make the mistake of assuming that resources can be allocated at will and almost immediately, e.g. a fisherman can immediately become an engineer and start developing apps. Or a farmer that produces corn or rye (very popular examples) can suddenly start working at a factory producing bluejeans.
In real life, it doesn't happen. Also, trade models never consider natural trade barriers and extra costs related to trade. E.g. it is not the same to sell $10,000 worth of corn (you need a very large truck) than selling $10,000 worth of jeans (all you need is a small delivery van). In real life, trade is not simple, it is actually extremely complicated.
E.g. everyone knows that manufacturing goods in America is not efficient, at best companies can be less inefficient, but no manufacturing company in America is really efficient if we compare them to foreign companies. Even people who work in manufacturing industries know this, but they want to continue working in them. They want the companies to keep producing in America and they want to keep their jobs. Not everyone in America has a college degree in computer programming, finances, is able to design robots, or is a doctor, etc.
In real life, efficient industries have to exist alongside inefficient industries, and the whole economy suffers from it. But it is unavoidable. In the long run, the economy will eventually shift resources to more efficient industries, but it takes a long time, and a lot of people and companies will be against it. E.g. every year there are less shoe manufacturers in America, and eventually sometime in the future there will be none.
4. Sectoral shifts, frictional unemployment, and job searches Suppose the world price of steel falls substantially. The demand for labor among steel-producing firms in Pennsylvania will . The demand for labor among automobile-producing firms in Michigan, for which steel is an input, will . The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as unemployment. Suppose the government wants to reduce this type of unemployment. Which of the following policies would help achieve this goal? Check all that apply. Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies Increasing the benefits offered to unemployed workers through the government's unemployment insurance program
Answer:
decrease
increase
structural unemployment
Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively
Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies
Explanation:
If the world price of steel falls, the profits that can be earned from producing steel would fall. This would make steel-producing firms cutback on production. If they do this, they would lead less labour, so the demand for labour would fall.
The decrease in the price of steel would make purchasing steel by automobile companies cheaper. This would lead to a rise in production and as a result an increase in the demand for labour.
Structural unemployment occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of labour and the jobs available. Measures taken to increase information on available jobs would reduce this type of unemployment

How much cash would Deere have to pay to repurchase the 6.55% debentures at the quoted market price of 108.104
Answer: $216.208 million
Explanation:
It should be noted that the bonds are being traded at a premium which ch is the quoted market price of 108.104.
Due to this, to retire the bonds, Deere would pay more than the carrying value. Therefore, the cash outflow would be calculated as:
= $200 million × 108.104%
= $200 million × 1.08104
= $216.208 million
This would lead to a loss of: ($216.208 million - $200 million = $16.208 million) in debentures repurchase.
The answer is $216.208 million

The average price for regular gasoline at U.S. pumps fell almost 4 cents in March to $2.50 a gallon. The price of crude oil dropped to $43.46 per barrel on March 17, the lowest since March 2009.
Answer: C. lower the cost of producing gasoline and increase the supply of gasoline
Explanation:
Gasoline is derived from the distillation of crude oil which means that Crude oil is the main raw material in the production of gasoline. This means that if crude oil sees a reduction in price, input costs for gasoline will decrease as well.
Producers of gasoline will take advantage of this to buy more crude oil and therefore process and make more gasoline which will increase the supply of gasoline in the market and reduce its price.
Which of these is an acceptable less hazardous method of cleaning than solvents?
A. Using disposable wipes B. Using a dishwasher C. Using a water hose D. Mechanical cleaning
Answer:
D
Explanation:
An Acceptable and less hazardous method of cleaning than the use of chemical solvents is D. Mechanical cleaning.
Mechanical cleaning involves the use of sandpaper, abrasives, or other cleaning devices. This implies that large quantities of chemical solvents are not used.
Disposable wipes contain chemical solvents. Sometimes, the wipes are littered or improperly disposed of, thereby contaminating the environment.
Dishwashers use chemical solvents. Otherwise, they are just electro-mechanical devices for washing food dishes and other utensils.
A water hose used for cleaning must combine some chemical solvents to achieve cleaning effects.
Thus, the only solvent-free and less hazardous method of cleaning is Mechanical Cleaning.

Suppose you won a $77,000 after-tax cash prize in the lottery. You want to start a new business that you think will lose money for a while, after which it will be up and running and bringing in big bucks. You plan to invest the funds immediately in securities that are expected to earn 8% per year. Suppose you would need only $19,000 per year during the start-up period. How long could you operate before you would require cash from the new business, i.e., how long could you receive payments of $19,000 per year? The first withdrawal will be made a year from today, and your answer will contain a fraction of a year.
Answer:
The right solution is "5.09 years".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Lottery amount
= $77,000
Withdrawal
= $19,000
Rate
= 8%
The number of withdrawal will be:
⇒ [tex]NPER(Rate,-withdrawal,lottery \ amount)[/tex]
On putting the values, we get
⇒ [tex]NPER(8 \ percent,-19000,77000)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]5.09 \ years[/tex]
Assume that a Parent owns 80 percent of a Subsidiary that has 6 percent preferred stock outstanding with a reported par value of $720,000. Aside from the preferred dividends, no other dividends are paid (i.e., no dividends are paid to the common shareholders). The Parent owns none of the preferred stock. Assume that the Subsidiary reports net income of $117,000. During the year, the Parent company reported $261,000 of (pre-consolidation) income from its own operations (i.e., prior to any equity method adjustments by the Parent company). Compute the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest and the amount of net income attributable to the controlling interest.
Answer:
Consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest $14,760
Consolidated net income attributable to the controlling interest $320,040
Explanation:
Computation of the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest and the amount of net income attributable to the controlling interest.
CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME attributable to the noncontrolling interest
First step is to find the Divide amount
Dividend =6% x $720,000
Dividend= $43,200
Second Step is to find the Net Income from Subsidiary
Net Income from Subsidiary= $117,000-$43,200
Net Income from Subsidiary=$73,800
Last step is to calculate consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest
Noncontrolling interest =$73,800 x 20%
Noncontrolling interest = $14,760
NET INCOME attributable to the controlling interest
First step is to find the controlling interest amount
Controlling interest=80% x $73,800
Controlling interest= $59,040
Last step is to find the Parent company income
Parent company income= $261,000 + $59,040
Parent company income= $320,040
Therefore Consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is $14,760 while the Consolidated net income attributable to the controlling interest is $320,040

The purchase of a used textbook from a friend who took the same class last year.
Answer:
a. The purchase of tutoring services from a tutor who holds citizenship outside the country but resides within the country
Explanation:
Gross domestic product knowns as GDP provide the total market value of all produced goods/service in a country within particular period of time. It allows to know the Economic growth rate of a particular country.
GDP can be analysed an calculated using three most common ways ;it can be through
1)expenditures
2)production
3) incomes.
It can be calculated by by the summation of all money spent by government or consumer at a particular period of time. Hence nominal GDP is the value.It gives measures on production.

By how much does GDP rise in each of the fol- lowing scenarios? Explain. (a) A computer company buys parts from a local distributor for $1 million, assembles the parts, and sells the resulting computers for $2 million. (b) A real estate agent sells a house for $200,000 that the previous owners had bought 10 years earlier for $100,000. The agent earns a commission of $6,000. (c) During a recession, the government raises unemployment benefits by $100 million. (d) A new U.S. airline purchases and imports $50 million worth of airplanes from the European company Airbus.
Answer:
a. GDP increases by $2 million. Only final good and services are included in GDP. the parts used in making the computer represents intermediate goods. Intermediate goods are not included in the calculation of GDP.
b. GDP would increase by $6000. Only goods produced in the current year are included in GDP. The house wasn't built in the current year so it would not be included in GDP. So, only the agent's fees would be included
c. 0 Transfer payments are not included in GDP
d.0. Imports would increases and net export would decrease. Also, business spending would increase. Taking these two effects together, there would be no change in GDP
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
services not rendered to oneself
Activities not reported to the government
illegal activities
sale or purchase of used products
sale or purchase of intermediate products

1. a. 4.081%
2. c. $23,536.36
Explanation:
1. Periodic rate=(4.4%/4) = 1.1%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
= (1+0.044/4)^4-1
= 1.011^4 - 1
= 1.04473133864 - 1
= 0.04473133864
= 4.47%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
=(1+0.04/365)^365-1
= (1+0.00010958904)^365 - 1
= 1.00010958904^365 - 1
= 1.04080849272 - 1

f the inverse demand function for toasters is p = 60 - Q , what is the consumer surplus if price (p) is $30?
Answer and Explanation:
A consumer surplus is the gain a consumer makes by paying less than he is willing to pay for a product. Example if a consumer is willing to pay $300 for a mobile phone but pay $200 for the phone, the consumer surplus is $100
Given that the demand function is P=60-Q
And price is 30
Therefore consumer surplus is, substitute 30 in p
30=60-Q
30-60=-Q
-30=-Q
Q=-30/-1
Q=30
Therefore consumer surplus = 30

Mr. C made the following gifts: $12,000 to a university to pay tuition costs for his niece. An undeveloped tract of land to his sister that had an adjusted basis to Mr. C of $4,000 and a fair market value of $25,000. Various shares of stock to his wife that had an adjusted basis to Mr. C of $15,000 and a fair market value of $40,000. Mr. C did not consent to gift-splitting. What is the total amount of taxable gifts
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
Gifts are only taxed when their fair market value is higher than $15,000. Any gifts made to your spouse are not taxable. Gift taxes are calculated on a per person base, as long as they do not exceed the lifetime exemption (which is $11.58 million).
The tuition costs of her niece are not taxable since they are less than $12,000. The stocks given to his wife are not taxable either. The only taxable gift is the land given to his sister which had a FMV of $25,000. The taxable amount = $25,000 - $15,000 = $10,000
