Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

A financial asset is a non-physical asset that that gets it's value from a contract that was signed by the parties involved. Financial assets include Bonds, stocks and even cash amongst others.

Real Assets on the other hand are physical assets that can be seen and hence have an inherent value. Examples include buildings and cars.

a. Toyota creates a real asset- the factory. The loan is a financial asset that is created in the transaction.

The factory becomes a real Asset that is tangible and has an inherent value. The loan was created by an agreement between Toyota and the bank and so is a Financial Asset.

b. When the loan is repaid, the financial asset is destroyed but the real asset continues to exist.

When the loan is repaid, Toyota no longer owns that financial asset because it has gone back to the bank. However, the Real Asset which is the factory that they were able to build will remain with Toyota.

c. The cash is a financial asset that is traded in exchange for a real asset, inventory.

As already mentioned, cash is a financial asset. Inventory is a tangible substance with an inherent value not determined by a contract and so is a Physical Asset. Trading cash for Inventory is therefore trading a financial asset for a physical one.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

A 2.9% pay increase in 2014 for U.S. workers will cause the AS (aggregate supply) curve to shift inward in the short-run, signaling a decline in the quantity supplied.

Explanation:

The supply quantity declines because a pay increase increases suppliers' cost of production and reduces their ability to produce more goods and services. On the contrary, a fall in workers' pay causes the aggregate supply curve to shift outward, thereby increasing the quantity supplied. In the long-run, the pay increase will increase aggregate demand, thereby pushing prices to increase, while, at the same, suppliers try to increase the quantity supplied to meet with increased prices and demand.

Direct labor, $4,700 (credit)

Manufacturing overhead, $6,600 (credit)

Finishing Department, $10,500 (debit)

Assembly Department $10,500 (credit)

Finished Goods Inventory $15,600 (debit)

Finishing Department $15,600 (credit)

Explanation:

Manufacturing costs accumulate in the Work In Process Account of their respective departments.

When goods are transferred out of the Assembly Department to the Finishing Department, de-recognize the cost from Assembly Department (credit) and recognized the cost in Finishing Department (debit).

When cost of goods completed are transferred out of the Finishing Department into Finished Goods Inventory, we de-recognize the cost from Finishing Department and recognize it in the Finished Goods Inventory.

Assume that the labor market for retail workers is generally unskilled. If a minimum wage is set in the labor market for retail

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

there will be a surplus of retail workers in this labor market.

Explanation:

In the attached diagram the scenario is illustrated.

When the minimum wage is above the equilibrium wage it means that the minimum wage is above what employees are willing to pay workers. So employees will be less wiling to pay this amount.

There will be a reduction in the number of available slots for workers.

On the other hand workers will receive higher wage than they expected but since the slots for work are now limited there will be a surplus of labour in the market

Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

P₀ = $12.23

Explanation:

Div₃ = $1.25

Div₄ = $1.65

Div₅ = $2.178

Div₆ = $2.30868

first we must calculate the terminal value using the dividend discount model = $2.30868 / (17% - 6%) = $20.988

now we must discount all the future dividends + terminal value

P₀ = $1.25/1.17³ + $1.65/1.17⁴ + $2.178/1.17⁵ + $20.988/1.17⁵ = $12.23
