Question 7

A famous quarterback just signed a contract for $16 mil, providing $3.6 million a year for 4 years. A less famous receiver signe

Damm [24]

Answer:

The PV of the famous quarterback is $11,662,991.56, while the PV of less famous receiver is $12,719,159.63.

Explanation:

Present value (PV) refers to the valuation date value of a stream of income expected to be received in the future.

The PV for each of the two contracts can calculated by using the interest rate of 9%% (i.e. 0.12) as the discounting factor (r) to calculate the PV for each year. The discounting formula to use is (1+r)^n where n represents each relevant year. The calculations are done as follows:

1. For a famous quarterback

Step 1. Calculation of the PV for year

Year 1 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^1 = $3,302,752.29

Year 2 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^2 = $3,030,047.98

Year 3 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^3 = $2,779,860.53

Year 4 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^4 = $2,550,330.76

Step 2. Calculation of the total PV

This is obtained by adding the PVs of year 1 - 4 calculated above, and this is equal to $11,662,991.56.

2. For a less famous receiver

Step 1. Calculation of the PV for year

Year 1 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^1 = $2,752,293.58

Year 2 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^2 = $2,525,039.98

Year 3 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^3 = $2,316,550.44

Year 4 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^4 = $2,125,275.63

Step 2. Calculation of the total PV

This is obtained by adding the PVs of year 1 - 4 calculated above, and this is equal to $9,719,159.63.

In addition, the $3,000,000 is to receive now is added to the $9,719,159.63 as follows:

PV of less famous receiver = $9,719,159.63 + $3,000,000

= $12,719,159.63

Conclusion

Therefore, the PV of the famous quarterback is $11,662,991.56, while the PV of less famous receiver is $12,719,159.63.

Suppose that the marginal propensity to consume in Frugalia is 0.60. The government of Frugalia enacts a stimulus program that i

fgiga [73]

Answer:

option (c) $25 million

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The marginal propensity to consume in Frugalia, MPC = 0.60

Increase in spending = $10 million

Now,

The total increase in income

= $\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{1-MPC}}$ × Increase in spending

on substituting the respective values, we get

= $\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{1-0.6}}$ × $10 million

= $\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{0.4}}$ × $10 million

or

= 2.5 × $10 million

or

= $25 million

Hence,

The answer is option (c) $25 million

Indirect costs incurred in a manufacturing environment that cannot be traced directly to a product are treated as a.period costs

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Indirect costs incurred in a manufacturing environment that cannot be traced directly to a product are treated as Product costs and expenses when the goods are sold, Option D.

Explanation:

Indirect costs are also manufacturing overheads which cannot be directly put on the product but they have to be allocated in some way. So, these are treated as 'product costs' and 'expenses' when the goods are sold. They are not period costs as per Option A and option C. Option B which says that it is product costs when incurred, which is also incorrect.

Examples of indirect costs can be accounting and legal expenses, rent, telephone expenses, salaries of administrative.

Direct costs includes the costs of direct 'labor', materials and commissions.

Charles lackey operates a bakery in Idaho, Falls Because of its excellent product location, demand has increased by 35% in the l

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1) $0.27 per loaf of bread

2) $0.28 per loaf of bread

3) 3.7%

Explanation:

current production = 1,800 loaves per month

current labor expense = $8 per hour

constant utility cost = $800

ingredients per loaf = $0.40

multi-factor productivity = total output / (labor + materials + overhead)

current multi-factor productivity = 1,800 loaves / ($5,120 + $800 + $720) = $0.27 per loaf of bread

new output level = 1,800 x 1.35 = 2,430 loaves

new multi-factor productivity = 2,430 loaves / ($6,912 + $800 + $972) = $0.28 per loaf of bread

% increase = ($0.28 - $0.27) / $0.27 = 3.7%
