just olya [345]

Answer:

1. the overall operation of the national and global economy.

2. The B she received on the exam.

3. the slope of the graph is negative.

4. the slope of the graph is positive.

5. graphically illustrates the concept of scarcity.

6. increasing opportunity cost.

Explanation:

1. Macroeconomics is best defined as the study of the overall operation of the national and global economy.

Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.

2. The opportunity cost of going to the beach is the "B" grade she received on the exam.

In Economics, opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

Thus, the value of the opportunities lost (scoring an "A" grade) by going to the beach is the opportunity cost of her choice.

3. When two variables have an inverse relationship, then the slope of the graph is negative.

An inverse relationship can be defined as a relationship between two variables, in which an increase in the value of one variable leads to a decrease in the value of the other variable i.e as the value of one variable becomes large, the value of the other variable becomes small.

4. When two variables have a direct relationship, then the slope of the graph is positive.

A positive relationship or correlation can be defined as the relationship between two variables in which there exist a direct relationship between them i.e as one variable increases, the other increases and vice-versa.

5. The production possibilities curve graphically illustrates the concept of scarcity.

The production possibilities curve (PPC) is also known as the production possibilities frontier (PPF) and its a curve which illustrates the maximum (best) combinations of two products that can be produce in an economy if they both depend on these factors;

1. Technology is fixed.

2. Resources are fixed.

6. A production possibilities curve that is concave or bowed out from the origin represents increasing opportunity cost.

The production possibilities curve (PPC) is depicted graphically as an arc, by representing one good on the y-axis and the other on the x-axis.

Publix has 2,700 pounds of bananas with a total cost of $864. Because the bananas have become too ripe, Publix is contemplating

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: an increment in profit $1615

Explanation:

2700 pounds of Banana

Total cost = $864

If sold = $1485

When converted into bread $2565 and sold at the cost of $4480

Oven rentage = $300

What is the incremental effect on income if Publix converts the bananas to banana bread?

Sales Amount - Expenses incurred

= $4480 - $2565 + $300

= $4480 - $2865

= $1615

If he had sold the bananas

Sales amount - cost amount

= $1485 - $864

= $621

By converting the bananas to bread the incremental effect on income is it would yield more profits at $1615 compared to when sold at which is $621

Leker exchanged real property that was used exclusively for business and had an adjusted tax basis of $20,000 for new real prope

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

$17,000

Explanation:

Leker's Old Property Adjusted Tax Basis = $20,000

To calculate the new basis, subtract the $3000 recieved in cash from the new property.

New Tax Basis; $20,000-$3,000= $17,000

The transaction of Leker to exchange a real property for another led to a loss: Meaning a Property of $20,000 was exchanged for a property of $10,000+ $3,000 (cash)= $13,000

The Loss on the transaction= $20,000- $13,000= $7,000

Due to the loss no gain is recognized and the $3000 will reduce the basis for his new asset.

he credit union will have $1.6 million available for investment during the coming year. State laws and credit union policies imp

natulia [17]

Here is the full question.

The employee credit union at State University is planning the allocation of funds for the coming year. The credit union makes four types of loans to its members. In addition, the credit union invests in risk-free securities to stabilize income. The various revenue producing investments together with annual rates of return are as follows:

Type of Loan/Investment Annual Rate of Return (%)

Automobile loans 8

Furniture loans 10

Other secured loans 11

Signature loans 12

Risk-free securities 9

The credit union will have $1.6 million available for investment during the coming year. State laws and credit union policies impose the following restrictions on the composition of the loans and investments.

Risk-free securities may not exceed 30% of the total funds available for investment.

Signature loans may not exceed 10% of the funds invested in all loans (automobile, furniture, other secured, and signature loans).

Furniture loans plus other secured loans may not exceed the automobile loans.

Other secured loans plus signature loans may not exceed the funds invested in risk-free securities.

How should the $1.6 million be allocated to each of the loan/investment alternatives to maximize total annual return? Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Automobile Loans $

Furniture Loans $

Other Secured Loans $

Signature Loans $

Risk Free Loans $

What is the projected total annual return? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

$

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the amount invested in:

Automobile loans be Xa,

Furniture Loans be Xf,

Other Secured Loans be Xo,

Signature loans be Xs, &;

Risk-free loans be Xr

In reference on the Annual returns rate given;

Total annual returns = 8%×Xa + 10%×Xf + 11%×Xo + 12%×Xs + 9%×Xr

The various constraints given can be written as follows:

Xa + Xf + Xo + Xs + Xr = 1,600,000-----Constraint for amount available for investment

Xr = 30%*1,600,000 ----- Constraint for maximum risk free investment

Xs = 10%*(Xa + Xf + Xo + Xs) ----- Constraint for maximum amount in signature loans

Xf + Xo = Xa ------- Constraint for Furniture and other secured loans

Xo + Xs = Xr ------ Constraint for other secured loans and signature loans

Using the Excel Formula for solving this;

we have the following result.

Automobile Loans $ 504,000

Furniture Loans $ 136,000

Other Secured Loans $ 368,000

Signature Loans $ 112,000

Risk-Free Loans $ 480,000

The projected total annual return = $ 151,040

The computation of the excel formula on how we arrived at those valid figures above is shown in the attached files below.

Thanks!
