Can an object accelerate if it's moving with constant speed? Yup! Many people find this counter-intuitive at first because they forget that changes in the direction of motion of an object—even if the object is maintaining a constant speed—still count as acceleration.Acceleration is a change in velocity, either in its magnitude—i.e., speed—or in its direction, or both. In uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity changes constantly, so there is always an associated acceleration, even though the speed might be constant. You experience this acceleration yourself when you turn a corner in your car—if you hold the wheel steady during a turn and move at constant speed, you are in uniform circular motion. What you notice is a sideways acceleration because you and the car are changing direction. The sharper the curve and the greater your speed, the more noticeable this acceleration will become. In this section we'll examine the direction and magnitude of that acceleration.The figure below shows an object moving in a circular path at constant speed. The direction of the instantaneous velocity is shown at two points along the path. Acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity, which points directly toward the center of rotation—the center of the circular path. This direction is shown with the vector diagram in the figure. We call the acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion—resulting from a net external force—the centripetal acceleration

A university spent $1.3 million to install solar panels atop a parking garage. These panels will have a capacity of 200 kilowatts (kW) and have a life expectancy of 20 years. Suppose that the discount rate is 30%, that electricity can be purchased at $0.30 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), and that the marginal cost of electricity production using the solar panels is zero.
Hint: It may be easier to think of the present value of operating the solar panels for 1 hour per year first.
Approximately how many hours per year will the solar panels need to operate to enable this project to break even?
Answer:
It will take 6,534.31 hours per year for the solar panels to operate to enable this project to break even
Explanation:
Discount rate = 30% = 0.3
Looking at one hour of operation in each year = 200 kW x $0.30 Kw/hr
= $60 value of electricity per year
Compound interest factor for a discount rate of 30% = 3.3158
(taken from compound interest factor table or computed using formula ∑1/(1+r)^t , where r = 30%, and t = 1 to 30)
Present value of operating the solar panels for 1 hour per year = 60 × 3.3158 = $ 198.95
For break even it would need to run = 1.3 million ÷ 198.95
= 6,534.31 hours per year

The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 20,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 24,800 units and incurred the following costs:
Purchased 155,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $7.20 per pound. All of this material was used in production.
Direct laborers worked 65,000 hours at a rate of $15 per hour.
Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $612,300.
rev: 11_20_2017_QC_CS-109672
Foundational 10-12
What variable manufacturing overhead cost would be included in the company’s planning budget for March?
Answer:
$540,000
Explanation:
The amount on of variable manufacturing overhead cost to be included in the company's planning budget for March is budgeted production units of 20,000 units multiplied by standard direct labor hours of 3 hours per unit multiplied by cost of direct labor hour used for variable overhead which is $9.
budgeted variable overhead cost for March=20,000*3*$9=$540,000.00
However, the actual cost of variable manufacturing overhead for the month is $612,300,hence an adverse variance of $72,300 is recorded ($612,300-$540,000)
SCC Co. reported the following for the current year:
Net sales $ 59,000
Cost of goods sold $ 48,800
Beginning balance in inventory $ 3,100
Ending balance in inventory $ 9,100
Compute (a) inventory turnover and (b) days’ sales in inventory.
Hint: Recall that inventory turnover uses average inventory, and days’ sales in inventory uses the ending balance in inventory."
Answer:
a. The inventory turnover is 8.00 times
b. The days’ sales in inventory is 68 days
Explanation:
a. In order to calculate the inventory turnover we would have to use the following formula:
inventory turnover=cost of goods sold/average inventory
inventory turnover=$ 48,800/($3,100+$ 9,100)/2
inventory turnover=8.00 times
b. In order to calculate thedays’ sales in inventory we would have to use the following formula:
days’ sales in inventory=(Ending invenory/cost of goods sold)*365
days’ sales in inventory=($9,100/$48,800)*365
days’ sales in inventory=68 days
Sarah signed an agreement to rent an apartment from a landlord who also signed the agreement. During the lease negotiations, the landlord agreed to provide Sarah with extra storage space in the basement of the apartment building but this promise was not included in the agreement. The landlord now tells Sarah that he will not provide the extra space. If the landlord admits making the promise, under the parol evidence rule (select one):
Answer:
He is legally expected to provide the space under the overconfidence trap
Explanation:
The landlord was overconfident about his judgment abilities and was quick to make the promise to provide the extra space without thinking of a wider range of possibilities. Thereby exposing himself to a greater risk than he imagined. The parole evidence is an evidence of oral speech. Since he admitted making the promise to Sarah, he is legally expected to provide the space.
The common stock and debt of Northern Sludge are valued at $62 million and $38 million, respectively. Investors currently require a 16.8% return on the common stock and a/an 7.2% return on the debt. If Northern Sludge issues an additional $21 million of common stock and uses this money to retire debt, what happens to the expected return on the stock? Assume that the change in capital structure does not affect the interest rate on Northern’s debt and that there are no taxes.
Answer:
the expected return on the stock will decrease
Explanation:
total firm's value $100 million
equity $68 milliondebt $32 millionrequired rate of return:
cost of equity 16.8%cost of debt 7.2%if the firm issues new stock and retires debt:
equity $89 milliondebt $11 millionThe return on equity (ROE) measures how much money a company earns per dollar invested, ROE formula = net income / total equity
now let's suppose that the firm's net income is $10 million:
under the old capital structure ROE = $10 / $68 = 14.7%
now under the new capital structure net income will increase by the amount of interests saved = $21 x 7.2% = 1.512
new net income = $11.512
new ROE = $11.512 / $89 = 12.9%
following this example, the new ROE will be 12.2% lower than before because the cost of debt was much lower than the cost of equity.
as the weight of equity increases, the company's WACC will increase also:
old WACC = (68/100 x 16.8%) + (32/100 x 7.2%) = 11.424 + 2.304 = 13.728%old WACC = (89/100 x 16.8%) + (11/100 x 7.2%) = 14.952 + 0.792 = 15.744%Larkspur, Inc. purchased a delivery truck with a $44000 list price. The company was given a $4200 cash discount by the dealer and paid $2200 sales tax. Annual insurance on the truck is $1000. As a result of the purchase, by how much will Larkspur, Inc. increase its truck account
Answer:
Larkspur Inc. will increase its truck account by: $43,000.
Explanation:
Step I
To arrive at the above, we need to make the necessary additions and deductions:
Purchase Price = $44,000
Less cash discount of $4,200. Therefore, the final offer is
$44,000-$4,200 = $39,800.
Step II - Calculate the final value truck by applying Sales Tax
Final sales value amount plus sales tax
$39,800 + $2,200 = $ 42 000
Step III - Calculate Total cost to company by adding cost of insurance of the vehicle.
$ 42 000 + $1,000 = $ 43,000
Therefore the total cost of the truck the company is $43,000.

Cherokee Inc. is a merchandiser that provided the following information: Amount Number of units sold 13,000 Selling price per unit $ 16 Variable selling expense per unit $ 2 Variable administrative expense per unit $ 3 Total fixed selling expense $ 21,000 Total fixed administrative expense $ 15,000 Beginning merchandise inventory $ 11,000 Ending merchandise inventory $ 25,000 Merchandise purchases $ 88,000 Required: 1. Prepare a traditional income statement. 2. Prepare a contribution format income statement.
Answer:
1. Gross margin is $134,00; and Net profit is $33,000.
2. Contribution margin is $69,000; and Net profit is $33,000.
Explanation:
To prepare the statements, the following calculations are done first:
Sales revenue = Number of units sold * Selling price per unit = 13,000 * $16 = $208,000
Variable selling expenses = Number of units sold * Variable selling expense per unit = 13,000 * $2 = $26,000
Total selling expenses = Variable selling expenses + Total fixed selling expense = $26,000 + $21,000 = $47,000
Variable administrative expense = Number of units sold * Variable administrative expense per unit = 13,000 * $3 = $39,000
Total administrative expense = Variable administrative expense + Total fixed administrative expense = $39,000 + $15,000 = $54,000
Cost of goods sold = Beginning merchandise inventory + Merchandise purchases - Ending merchandise inventory = $11,000 + $88,000 - $25,000 = $74,000
The statements are now prepared as follows:
1. Prepare a traditional income statement.
The purpose of the traditional income statement is to obtain the gross margin and the net profit. These can be obtained as follows:

Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Amount Number of units sold 13,000
Selling price per unit $16
Variable selling expense per unit $2
Variable administrative expense per unit $3
Total fixed selling expense $21,000
Total fixed administrative expense $15,000
Beginning merchandise inventory $11,000
Ending merchandise inventory $25,000
Merchandise purchases $88,000
First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 11,000 + 88,000 - 25,000= 74,000
1) Traditional income statement:
Sales= 13,000*16= 208,000
COGS= (74,000)
Gross profit= 134,000
Total selling expense= (2*13,000) + 21,000= (47,000)
Total administrative expense= (3*13,000) + 15,000= (54,000)
Net operating income= 33,000
2) Contribution format income statement:
Total variable cost= (3 + 2)*13,000 + 74,000= $139,000
Sales= 208,000
Total variable cost= (139,000)
Contribution margin= 69,000
Total fixed selling expense= (21,000)
Total fixed administrative expense= (15,000)
Net operating income= 33,000
For the item below, determine whether the amount would be disclosed in the cash flow statement under: Operating (CFO), Investing (CFI), or Financing (CFF), as well as if would be a net increase (+) or decrease (-) in cash or cash equivalents:
A. Principal payments on long-term borrowings
B. Decrease in accounts receivable
C. Proceeds from long-term borrowings
D. Increase in deferred income tax net liability
E. Net earnings
F. Increase in prepaid expenses
G. Increase in merchandise inventories
H. Cash dividends paid
I. Proceeds from issuance of common stock
J. Increase in accrued salaries, wages, and related benefits
K. Payments for repurchase of common stock
L. Capital Expenditures
M. Increase in accounts payable
N. Depreciation and amortization expenses
Answer:
Explanation:
Operating Cashflows have to do with the transactions dealing with the day to day activities of the business including calculations of net income and revenue and expenses.
Investing Cashflow has to do with the transactions involving fixed assets such as Property, Land and Equipment since these are Capital Expenditure. Also included are stock ownership and bond holding of other entities.
Financing Cashflows refer to transactions relating to the provision of capital for the business through loans or Equity.
A. Principal payments on long-term borrowings.
FINANCING - decrease (-)
This is a financing transaction that deals with long term loans. It will decrease the cash or cash equivalents held.
B. Decrease in accounts receivable.
OPERATING - Increase +
This is an operating cashflow and it is an increase because Receivables reduce when they pay the business so cash increases.
C. Proceeds from long-term borrowings.
FINANCING - Increase +
This is a financing activity and the increase is due to money from Issuing Bonds or borrowing money coming into the business.
D. Increase in deferred income tax net liability.
OPERATING - Increase +
By reducing the amount that we pay in tax that means that less cash has been paid which also means that more cash is kept in the business which increases the Cash balance.
E. Net earnings.
OPERATING - Increase +
So long as the Net Earnings are positive, they go to the Operating Section and increase the amount of cash and cash equivalents.
F. Increase in prepaid expenses.
OPERATING - Decrease -
By increasing the amount of prepaid expenses, this means that the company used money to pay for expenses it hasn't incurred yet which reduces the cash in hand.
G. Increase in merchandise inventories.
OPERATING - Decrease -
By buying more Inventory, more cash was spent and this therefore reduces the cash and cash equivalents balance.
H. Cash dividends paid.
FINANCING - Decrease -
Dividends relate to equity and Equity is a Financing Cashflow Transaction. Paying Dividends means giving out cash so it reduces the cash and cash equivalents balance.
I. Proceeds from issuance of common stock.
FINANCING - Increase
Similar to proceeds from long term borrowings, Equity is a Financing activity as it finds the business, the proceeds received from here increase the cash and cash equivalents balance.
J. Increase in accrued salaries, wages, and related benefits.
OPERATING - Increase +
These are Operating Cashflow transactions and by withholding them, the business does not spend cash on them. That cash that was not paid is an increase to the cash and cash equivalents balance.
K. Payments for repurchase of common stock.
FINANCING - Decrease -
By repurchasing stock which is an Equity transaction, this goes to the Financing Section. The cash spent to repurchase the stock reduces the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand.
L. Capital Expenditures.
INVESTING - Decrease -
By buying capital items or spending on Capital Investments, the company makes an investment and as such this goes to the Investment Section. The expenses are a reduction on cash.
M. Increase in accounts payable.
OPERATING - Increase +
Accounts Payable are an Operating Activity and when they are increased that means that the company paid less cash and bought more things on credit. That cash that wasn't paid is an increase in the cash balance.
N. Depreciation and amortization expenses.
OPERATING - Increase +
By including depreciation and amortization in the operating cashflow, these increase the Cashflow because they are non cash items. Even though they are recorded, no physical cash actually flows to them. This cash that was supposed to flow to them is in increase.

A new equipment has been proposed by engineers to increase the productivity of a welding operation of a local fabrication plant. The investment cost is $25,000, and the equipment will have a market value of $5,000 at the end of a study period of five years. Increased productivity attributable to the equipment will amount to $10,000 per year after operating costs have been subtracted from the revenue generated by the additional production. If MARR is 12%, is investing in this equipment feasible
Answer:
NPV =$13,884.89
Investing the the equipment id feasible because it has a positive NPV, thus implies that it will increase the wealth of the company by $13,884.8963
Explanation:
The NPV is the difference between the PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.
NPV of an investment:
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
Initial cost = 25,000
Present value of the cash inflow
PV of annuity= 1 -(1+r)^(-n)/r × Annual cash flow
A-10,000, r- 12%, n- 5
PV of annual cash inflow = 10,0000× (1- (1.12^(-5)/0.12=36,047.762
Present Value of Scrap value
PV = S×× (1+r)^(-n)
S- scrap value , n- 5, r 12%
PV of scrap Value = 5,000 × (1.12)^(-5)= 2,837.13
NPV= 36047.76202+ 2837.134279 - 25,000= 13,884.89
NPV =$13,884.89
Investing the the equipment id feasible because it has a positive NPV, thus implies that it will increase the wealth of the company by $13,884.8963
A company uses a process costing system. Its Welding Department completed and transferred out 100,000 units during the current period. The ending inventory in the Welding Department consists of 30,000 units (75% complete with respect to direct materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion costs). Determine the equivalent units of production for the Welding Department for direct materials and conversion costs assuming the weighted average method.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs is shown below:-
Direct material Conversion
Completed 100,000 100,000
Ending Work in progress
Direct material 22,500
(30,000 × 0.75)
Conversion 12,000
(30,000 × 0.40)
Equivalent Units of
Production 122,500 112,000
So, to reach the equivalent units of production of direct material we simply added the completed and transferred out units with direct material and for conversion we added the completed and transferred out units with conversion units.
An end-of-aisle price promotion changes the price elasticity of a good from −2 to −3. Suppose the normal price is $34, which equates marginal revenue with marginal cost at the initial elasticity of –2. What should the promotional price be when the elasticity changes to –3? (Hint: In other words, what price will equate marginal revenue and marginal cost?)
Answer:
MC = $17
P = $25.5
Explanation:
We proceed as follows;
Firstly calculate MC when e = -2, where MR = MC
(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI
Here P = $34 and e = -2
(34 - MC) / 34= 1/ I-2I
(34 - MC) / 34= 1 / 2
78-2MC = 34
2MC = 34
MC = 34/2
MC = 17
Now, as we have MC, we will calculate the new price when e = -3
(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI
(P - 17) / P = 1 / I-3I
(P - 17) / P = 1 / 3
3P -51 = P
2P = 51
P = 51/2
P = 25.5

On January 1, 2020, Milwaukee Corporation issued $3,000,000 of its 20-year, 8% bonds payable at 96. Interest is payable annually on January 1. The entry to accrue interest on December 31, 2020 would include a
Answer:
It will include credit to discount on bonds payable for $6,000
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
Issue price of bond = $3,000,000 * 96%
Issue of bond =$ 2,880,000
Thus,
The discount of bond payable = $3,000,000 - $ 2,880,000
=$120,000
Amortization of discount of bond payable = $120,000/20
=$6,000
Now,
We prepare an entry to accrue interest which is given below:

How is each of the following likely to be affected by a recession:
a. the natural unemployment rate.
b. the cyclical unemployment rate.
c. the inflation rate.
d. the poll ratings of the president
Each of the following likely to be affected by a recession is the cyclical unemployment rate. The correct option is b.
What is a recession?The term "recession" is used in economics to describe the economic downturn brought on by a reduction in supply or demand. The production, employment, and income of domestic economies generally diminish, which in turn results in additional drops in demand and investment, lengthening the recessive process.
Because of this, when demand or production falls, the recession tends to last longer, deepen, and speed up, signaling that the affected nation's domestic economy will be in decline.
A recession is a time in the economy when growth is generally slow, yet inflation is also high. It is crucial that market forces operate independently, without interference from the government, in order to prevent a recession.
Therefore, the correct option is b. the cyclical unemployment rate.

The correct answer is the option C: the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.
Explanation:
To begin with the term of ''comparative advantage'' is refer to the quality of one country in comparison with another to produce in a better way, a more eficient way, a good. Therefore that when a country has a comparative advantage over another country it means that the first country can produce more of a good with less resources that the second country.
That is why, that the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats over the Micro islands due to the fact that there is a very little difference with the other country meanwhile the Micro Islands have a comparative advatange in the production of guava jelly due to the amount of goods that it can produce in the same amount of time with the great amount difference in comparison with the Macro Islands. Therefore that one country chooses to produce the good in which it is better in comparison with the other.
Byer, a plastics processor, is considering the purchase of a high-speed extruder as one option. The new extruder would cost $50,000 and would have a residual value of $3000 at the end of its 6-year life. The annual operating expenses of the new extruder would be $5000. The other option that Byer has is to rebuild its existing extruder. The rebuilding would require an investment of $30,000 and would extend the life of the existing extruder by 6 years. The existing extruder has annual operating costs of $13,000 per year and does not have a residual value. Byer's discount rate is 12%. Using net present value analysis, which option is the better option and by how much? Present Value of $1 Periods 12% 14% 16% 6 0.507 0.456 0.410 8 0.404 0.351 0.305 10 0.322 0.270 0.227 12 0.257 0.208 0.168Present Value of Annuity of $1 Periods 12% 14% 16% 6 4.111 3.889 3.685 8 4.968 4.639 4.344 10 5.650 5.216 4.833 12 6.194 5.660 5.197
Answer:
Option of the new extruder is better by $14,411.16
Explanation:
The present value of each option needs to be determined in order that the cheaper option in present value terms can be recommended.
Present value of new extruder=$50,000/(1+12%)^0+$5000/(1+12%)^1+$5000/(1+12%)^2+$5000/(1+12%)^3+$5000/(1+12%)^4+$5000/(1+12%)^5+$5000/(1+12%)^6-$3000/(1+12%)^6=$ 69,037.14
The discount factor each year=1/(1+r)^n where is 12% discount rate and n is the year
resent value of old extruder=$30,000/(1+12%)^0+$13,000/(1+12%)^1+$13000/(1+12%)^2+$13000/(1+12%)^3+$13000/(1+12%)^4+$13000/(1+12%)^5+$13000/(1+12%)^6=$ 83,448.30
The first option is better since it has a lower preset value of costs of $ 69,037.14
Difference in PVs= 83,448.30-69,037.14=$14,411.16

You are an international shrimp trader. A food producer in the Czech Republic offers to pay you 2.3 million Czech koruna today in exchange for a year's supply of frozen shrimp. Your Thai supplier will provide you with the same supply for 2.8 million Thai baht today. If the current competitive market exchange rates are 25.49 koruna per dollar and 39.31 baht per dollar, what is the value of this deal?
Answer:
$19,002.77
Explanation:
The computation of the value of deal is shown below:
The value of the deal = Sales revenue - purchase cost
where,
Sales revenue is
= 2,300,000 ÷ 25.49 koruna per dollar
= $90,231.46
And, the purchase cost is
= 2,800,000 ÷ 39.31 baht per dollar
= $71,228.69
So, the value of the deal is
= $90,231.46 - $71,228.69
= $19,002.77
hence, the value of the deal is $19,002.77
On January 2, 2015, Vaughn Corporation issued $1,650,000 of 10% bonds at 96 due December 31, 2024. Interest on the bonds is payable annually each December 31. The discount on the bonds is also being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10 years. (Straight-line is not materially different in effect from the preferable "interest method".) The bonds are callable at 102 (i.e., at 102% of face amount), and on January 2, 2017, Vaughn called $1,140,000 face amount of the bonds and redeemed them. Ignoring income taxes.
Required:
Compute the amount of loss, if any, to be recognized by Vaughn as a result of retiring the $1,140,000 of bonds in 2017
Answer:
$59,280
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Bond issue price = $1,650,000 * 0.96 = $1,584,000
Discount on bonds payable = $1,650,000 - $1,584,000 = $66,000
Annual amortization of discount on bonds payable = $66,000 / 10 = 6,600
Bond carrying value on January 2, 2017 = Bond issue price + (Annual discount on bonds payable * Number of years) = $1,584,000 + ($6,600 * 2) = $1,597,200
Value of $1,140,000 of bonds = ($1,597,200 / $1,650,000) * $1,140,000 = $1,103,520
Loss on recognized on redemption = ($1,140,000 * 102%) - $1,103,520 = $59,280
Ajax Computer Company is an accrual-method calendar-year taxpayer. Ajax has never advertised in the national media prior to this year. In November of this year, however, Ajax paid $3 million for television advertising time during a "super" sporting event scheduled to take place in early February of next year. In addition, in November of this year the company paid $2,500,000 for a one-time advertising blitz during a professional golf tournament in April of next year. What amount of these payments, if any, can Ajax deduct this year
Answer: No deduction can be claimed this year.
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
a. No deduction can be claimed this year.
b. $5.50 million
c. $2,500,000
d. $5.50 million only if the professional golf tournament is played before April 15.
Answer:
Since Ajax Computer company is an accrual method calender-year tax payer, the computer company would recognize the expenses only when such expenses are incurred and not at the time that cash is being paid for the the expenses
Ajax computer company already paid in advance for both advertisements the following year even though the advertisement eanst taking place that year. Therefore, the payments will not be considered to be an expense until advertisements has actually taken place. Because of this, Ajax cannot deduct the amounts paid for the advertisements next year and hence, no deduction will be claimed this year.
Unfortunately, Tori doesn't have enough money in her account right now. She needs to make additional contributions at the end of each of the next three years to be able to pay for the repairs. Her account currently has $5,000, which, along with her additional contributions, is expected to continue earning 9% annual interest. If she makes equal contributions each year, how large must each contribution be for Tori to have $9,000 after three years
Answer:
Annual deposit= $770.22
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
PV= 5,000
FV= 9,000
i= 0.09
n= 3
First, we need to calculate the final value of the first $5,000. We will use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 5,000*1.09^3
FV= 6,475.15
Now, we calculate the annual deposits for the difference:
Investment difference= 9,000 - 6,475.15= 2,524.85
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (2,524.85*0.09) / [(1.09^3)-1]
A= $770.22
A perfectly elastic demand function A. shows that a consumer is willing to pay any amount for the product. B. has a marginal revenue that is always decreasing. C. is characteristic of an individual firm operating in a perfectly competitive market. D. shows that the individual firm can increase sales by lowering the price of output.
Answer:
C. is characteristic of an individual firm operating in a perfectly competitive market.
Explanation:
Demand is perfectly elastic if the coefficient of elasticity is infinite. It means thay consumers would only buy at one price. Once that price changes, demand falls to zero.
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply.
If a seller decides to increase the price of his good in a perfect competition, demand falls to zero and reducing price woild lead to losses.

Total
Answer: The total cost of land will be $110,00 while the total cost of building will be $675,000.
Explanation:
The total cost of land will be $110,00 while the total cost of building will be $675,000. Total cost of land is gotten by ($100,000 + $8,000 + $4,000 - $2,000) = $110,000
Total cost of building is gotten by adding $25,000 + $650,000 = $675,000.

The annual premium for a $ 15 comma 000 15,000 insurance policy against the theft of a painting is $ 300 300. If the (empirical) probability that the painting will be stolen during the year is 0 . 03 .03, what is your expected return from the insurance company if you take out this insurance?
Answer:
P(x)=0.97
E(x)=$150
Explanation:
The expected return from the insurance company if the I nsurance is taken out will be:
A.Let assume x is the random variable for the amount received from the Insurance company.
Therefore:
x =$300-$0
=$300-$15,000
P(x)=1-0.03=0.97
P(x)=0.03
B.
E(x)=0.97×$300-$14,700×0.03
=$291-$441
=$150
Identify whether each of the following examples belongs to Money aggregates (M1 or M2). If an example belongs in both, be sure to write it down.
a. Sean has $30,000 in a money market account.
b. Musashi has a roll of quarters that he just withdrew from the bank to do laundry.
c. Yvette has $7,000 in a two-year certificate of deposit (CD).
Any type of money that falls into the M2 category is, by definition, part of M1 as well.
a. True
b. False
Answer: 1. a) M2
b) M1 and M2
c) M2
2. b. False
Explanation:
1.
M1 is a type of definition of money by economists that seek to explain the circulation of money in the economy. It includes cash and cash equivalents that are easy to convert into cash. This includes actual physical cash as well as Demand Deposits.
M2 is the definition that follows after M1. M2 by definition includes all the types of cash in M1 as well as deposits less than $100,000, non Institutional Money Market Fund investments and savings deposits. It isn't as liquid as M1 but is very important in forecasting inflation.
The classifications therefore are,
a) M2. This is M2 as it is a Non Institutional Money Market investment by Sean.
b) M1 and M2. This is physical cash and as such is part of M1 and as stated, anything part of M1 is part of M2 as well.
c) M2. As a deposit less than $100,000, the $7,000 that Yvette has in the CD classifies as M2.
2. False.
Money that is part of M2 is not automatically part of M1. M1 includes only physical cash as well as Demand Deposits while M2 has other forms such as savings deposits and small time deposits. Money that is part of M1 is automatically part of M2 and not the other way around.
