Maynard, Joan, Jaco, and Neil are trying to form a band. They each have some basic skills on most instruments, so their current

plan is for each of them to rotate among vocals, guitar, bass, and drums. After a year of practice and rehearsals, the band still sounds awful. Maynard can\'t keep a steady beat when on bass or drums, Jaco sounds terrible at everything except the bass, nobody except Joan can remember all the chords on guitar, and even Neil\'s own mother thinks his singing sounds like a dying cow. At their current rate, they expect it will be several years before they are good enough to land their first paid performance. None of them have enough money saved up to last that long. They all know you are taking economics and ask your advice. What would you say to them?
1- Continue with the current plan, as economies of scale should eventually kick in.
2- Have each member specialize in the role that they are best in, to take advantage of benefits from specialization.
3- Abandon the band, as continued practice is doomed to suffer diminishing marginal returns.
4- Invest their remaining savings in new instruments, as they are at a point where the marginal product of capital exceeds the marginal product of labor.
5- Change the rotation to be random rather than equal, to take advantage of heteroskedasticity.

Answer:

2- Have each member specialize in the role that they are best in, to take advantage of benefits from specialization.

Explanation: Having each member specialize in the role that they are best in will make each member have more time to practice on what they are doing best in. Joan for example needs to specialize in the guitar, Jaco needs to specialize in bass,Maynard should focus on drums and Neil should focus on his vocals

"Lluvia Manufacturing and Paraguas Products both seek funding at the lowest possible cost. Lluvia would prefer the flexibility o
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Paraguas should borrow at LIBOR + 2.000% and swap for fixed rate debt.

Lluvia should choose funding in floating rate

Explanation:

Paraguas wants the security of fixed rate borrowing; thus it should borrow at LIBOR + 2.000% and swap for fixed rate debt, in which Libor is 5.500%; their total cost at 7.5% is still lower than Fixed rate 12.0%

Lluvia prefer the flexibility of floating rate borrowing, and its rating is better; then it can enjoy lower cost of borrowing at 5%. However it may face the increase if LIBOR increase later; vice versa if LIBOR decrease, its cost of borrowing is able to reduce also.

Jamison Company developed the following reconciling information in preparing its June bank reconciliation: Cash balance per bank
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

c. $15,065

Explanation:

In bank reconciliation the book balance is adjusted using some adjustments made by the the bank and still pending by the business. We make an adjusted balance of cash book balance and bank statement balance to reconcile the amounts.

Cash balance per book 6/30    $13,000

+ Note receivable                      $4,000

- Bank charges                          $35

- NSF check                               <u>$1,900  </u>

Adjusted Cash book balance   <u>$15,065</u>

Note receivable is received in the bank but not been recorded by the business. It will be added to the balance because it will increase the balance.

Bank charges are deducted by the bank but not been recorded by the business it will be deducted.

NSF check have already added by the balance but its not been cleared. So it needs to be deducted form the Book balance.

Janice started receiving an annuity payment of $1,500 per month when she turned 68 years old (expected return multiple for ordin
givi [52]

Answer: 71% or $12,780 annually.

Explanation:

To find the amount of the Annuity that represents a return on Capital each year you divide the cost of the Annuity by the total amount of the Annuity to be received if the single life annuity is used to the fullest.

First then, we would need to calculate the full value of the Annuity.

Janice expects to get $1,500 per month for 17.6 years.

That means the total value would be,

= 1,500 * 12 months * 17.6 years

= $316,800 is the Total Annuity Receivable.

Calculating the return on Capital we will have,

= Cost of Annuity / Total Annuity Receivable

= 225,000 / 316,800

= 0.71022727272

= 71%

Monthly calculated that would be,

= 0.71 (1,500 * 12)

= $12,780

The return on Capital is 71% or $12,780 annually.

Audio engineers at 3XT2 have determined that an anechoic additive will increase isolation and improve signal to noise by about 2
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is $83230

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The Present worth of geometric series is shown below

= A *[1 - (1+g)^n /(1+i)^n] / (i-g)

Now,

The present  cost of worth from EOY 5 to EOY 13 at EOY 4 = 7000 *[1 - (1+0.12)^9 /(1+0.15)^9] / (0.15-0.12)

Thus,

= 7000 *[1 - (1.12)^9 /(1.15)^9] / (0.03)

Which is,

= 7000 * 7.0572647

= 49400.85

Now, The NPW of all costs = 35000 + 7000*(P/A,15%,4) + 49400.85*(P/F,15%,4)

= 35000 + 7000*2.854978 + 49400.85*0.571753

= 83229.93

Therefore the sound improvement better result in a net present worth profit of how much to negate the costs is $83229.93 or 83230

Note: EOY = End of year.
