Answer:
1. What is the Commerce Clause?
The Commerce Clause refers to the power held by Congress to regulate interstate commerce. Individual states can regulate commerce that takes place within their territory, but they cannot regulate trade between entities from their state and entities from other states.
2. Will the Arizona regulation withstand Commerce Clause scrutiny? Why or why not?
This is an actual court case and the US Supreme Court ruled against Arizona's regulation because it interferes with interstate commerce. The cantaloupes that Bruce Church produced were supposed to be sold in California, that means that 2 states are involved. The Commerce Clause applies whenever trade between 2 states are involved. An individual state's regulations cannot result in a burden for businesses engaged in interstate commerce.
Answer:
a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.
b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.
Explanation:
Loanable funds refer to the aggregate amount of money that all sectors, entities and individuals within an economy have decided to keep as an investment, instead of spending on personal consumption, by saving and giving them out as loans to borrowers.
The market for loanable funds is in equilibrium when the supply of loanable funds by the saver is equal to demand for loanable funds by the borrowers at a given interest rate.
When the market for loanable funds is in equilibrium, efficiency is maximized because projects that have higher rates of return are given priority to be funded first before the projects with lower rates of return are funded. The reason is that savers that have lowest costs of lending provides funds for the projects that have highest return rates in equilibrium. However, potential saver who do not lend money will prefer a higher interest rates.
Therefore, the correct options related to the two aspects of efficiency that the equilibrium of market for loanable funds exhibits are as follows:
a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.
b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.
Answer:
c. It should process further because the reduction in the cost of the trees is irrelevant.
Explanation:
For the purpose of this Decision,
Benefit of processing further = Sales Value after processing – Sale Value before processing – Further Processing costs
Cost of acquiring trees is a sunk cost already incurred and hence is not relevant
Hence, benefit of processing = (0.80-0.20)*350 – 50
= $160
Hence, the answer is
c. It should process further because the reduction in the cost of the trees is irrelevant.

Answer:
d. Overstate, understate, understate, zero
Explanation:
The amount of earnings overall is the same. so, in the end, there is n difference in retained earnings.
But, on accrual accounting, the note should not enter the accounting as 1,000 as time value of money exist.
At 2016 the sales revenue should be the present value of 1,000 dollars not the complete 1,000 dollars. Thus, is overstated.
Then, the interest accrued from the note are not recognized. Thus, the first year (2016) recognize revenues that should be matched with 2017 and 2018
Thus, these two subsequent years ended understated.
