Business
1 answer:
almond37 [142]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

GDP is an imperfect measure of Economic well being because of : Production of  - Non Monetary Exchange goods , Positive & Negative Externalities goods, Negative Impact goods.

Explanation:

GDP is the total value of goods & services produced by an economy during a period of time.

Although reflecting flow of goods & services in an economy, GDP is still not a perfect measure of well being because :

  • Non Monetary Exchange Goods : Services of family members (housewives), leisure production (eg painting) are non monetary.
  • Positive & Negative Externalities Goods: Benefit or harm to un-involved party, without any monetary exchange. Eg - Education, Pollution.
  • Negative Impact Goods : Goods consumption leading to well being loss rather than well being gain. Eg- Addiction (Alcohol / Smoking).

All these goods change well being : Non Monetary Exchange Goods increase well being , Positive Externalities increase welfare , Negative Externalities decrease welfare , Negative Impact goods decrease welfare.

But, these are still not included in GDP evaluation. So, all these make GDP an imperfect measure of well being.

Rearden Metals is considering opening a strip mining operation to provide some of the raw materials needed in producing Rearden
melomori [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The initial purchase of the land and the associated costs of opening up mining operations will cost​ $100 million today. The mine is expected to generate​ $16 million worth of ore per year for the next 12 years. At the end of the 12th year Rearden will need to spend​ $20 million to restore the land to its original pristine nature appearance.

We need to sum each cash flow until the total initial investment is paid:

Number of years= 100,000,000/16,000,000= 6.25 years

To be exact:

0.25*365= 95 days

It will take 6 years and 95 days to recover the initial investment.

To guide cost allocation decisions, the ability to bear criterion ________.
hoa [83]

Answer:

the answer is D

Explanation:

Disagree. Cost accounting data plays a key role in many management planning and control decisions.  The division president will be able to make better operating and strategy decisions by being involved in key decisions about cost pools and cost allocation bases. Such an understanding, for example, can help the division president evaluate the profitability of different customers The salary of a plant security guard would be a direct cost when the cost object is the security department of the plant.  It would be an indirect cost when the cost object is a product. Exhibit 14-1 outlines four purposes for allocating costs:

1.   To provide information for economic decisions.

2.   To motivate managers and employees.

3.   To justify costs or compute reimbursement.

4.   To measure income and assets for reporting to external parties.

Exhibit 14-2 lists four criteria used to guide cost allocation decisions:

1.   Cause and effect.

2.   Benefits received.

3.   Fairness or equity.

Ability to bear. The cause-and-effect criterion and the benefits-received criterion are the dominant criteria when the purpose of the allocation is related to the economic decision purpose or the motivation purpose. Using the levels approach introduced in Chapter 7, the salesvolume variance is a Level 2 variance. By sequencing through Level 3 (salesmix and salesquantity variances) and then Level 4 (marketsize and marketshare variances), managers can gain insight into the causes of a specific sales-volume variance caused by changes in the mix and quantity of the products sold as well as changes in market size and market share. The total salesmix variance arises from differences in the budgeted contribution margin of the actual and budgeted sales mix. The composite unit concept enables the effect of individual product changes to be summarized in a single intuitive number by using weights based on the mix of individual units in the actual and budgeted mix of products sold. A favorable salesquantity variance arises because the actual units of all products sold exceed the budgeted units of all products sold. The salesquantity variance can be decomposed into (a) a marketsize variance (because the actual total market size in units is different from the budgeted market size in units), and (b) a market share variance (because the actual market share of a company is different from the budgeted market share of a company). Both variances use the budgeted average contribution margin per unit.

The price of a stock on February 1 is $84. A trader buys 200 put options on the stock with a strike price of $90 when the option
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The net loss of the trader amounts to $1,000, which means the correct option is A

Explanation:

The payoff is computed as:

Payoff = Strike price - Option's Stock price

where

Strike price is $90

Option's Stock Price is $85

Putting the values above:

Payoff = $90 - $85

= $5 per option

The trader bought 200 options, so the payoff would be:

Payoff = Options × Price per option

= 200 × $5

= $1,000

And the option cost would be:

Option cost = Options × Option Price

= 200 × $10

= $2,000

So, there computing net loss or gain as:

Net loss or gain = Payoff - Option cost

= $1,000 - $2,000

= $1,000 ( net loss)

Therefore, the correct option is A
