Your buddy in mechanical engineering has invented a money machine. The main drawback of the machine is that it is slow. It takes

one year to manufacture $ 70. ​However, once​ built, the machine will last forever and will require no maintenance. The machine takes one year to be built and will cost $ 1000. Your buddy wants to know if he should invest the money to construct it. If the interest rate is 5 % per​ year, what should your buddy​ do? What is your advice if the machine takes one year to​ build?
A) calculate the NPV (Solution the profs gave:333, I got 400)
B) You convince your friend to improve the machine so that the amount of produced money will increase every year by 1% (Solution the profs gave: 667, I got 750)

Based on the amount it would cost to build the machine and the interest rate as well as the payoff, the following are true:

  • A. $333
  • B. $667

a. The machine will take a year to build which means the payoff will only start coming in next year.

First find the present value of the perpetuity:

= 70 / 5%

= $1,400

You then need to find the present value of the above in the current period:

= 1,400 / ( 1 + 5%)

= $1,333

NPV is:

= 1,333 - 1,000 cost

= $333

B. If the amount produced increases by 1%, you should use the Gordon Growth Model:

<em>= Next payoff / ( Interest - Growth)</em>

=70/ ( 5% - 1%)

= $1,750

Take this to current year:

= 1,750 / 1.05

= $1,667

NPV will be:

= 1,667 - 1,000

= $667

Should the NLRB require union organizer access to the workplace as a quid pro quo for an employer demanding an election rather t
rewona [7]

Answer: yes

Explanation:this is so because When a union wants to unionize a new group of employees, it must first convince at least 30% of the employees to sign authorization cards. If the union successfully does so, the union then submits the cards to the NLRB for certification. If the NLRB certifies that the union has secured cards from 30% of the employees, it orders that a secret ballot election be held where the employees vote on whether to unionize. Typically, about two months pass between the time the NLRB certifies the cards and the time that the election actually takes place. During these two months, the union and the employer actively campaign for or against unionization. At the election, if a majority of employees vote to unionize, then the NLRB recognizes the union as the sole bargaining representative of the employees. The employer is then required by statute to bargain in good faith with the union to negotiate the “first contract” between the employees and the employer. This employment contract determines the terms and conditions for all employees represented by the union.

Credit Common Stock with $40,000

Credit Additional Paid-in Capital with $20,000

To record the issue of 10,000 shares of common stock, par $4 at $6 each.

March 20:

Debit Treasury Stock with $8,000

Debit Additional Paid-in Capital with $6,000

Credit Cash Account with $14,000

To record the repurchase of 2,000 shares of treasury stock at $7 each.

October 1:

Debit Dividends - Preferred Stock with $35,000

Credit Dividends Payable with $35,000

To record preferred stock dividends declared.

November 1:

Debit Dividends Payable with $35,000

Credit Cash Account with $35,000

To record cash payment of dividends.

December 1:

Debit Dividends - Common Stock with $249,000

Credit Dividends Payable with $249,000

To record $0.50 per share common stock dividend.

December 31:

Debit Dividends Payable with $249,000

Credit Cash Account with $249,000

To record payment of dividend.

Debit Net Income with $550,000

Credit Retained Earnings with $550,000

To record the transfer of net income to Retained Earnings.

Explanation:

a) Whereas $60,000 cash was received for the issue, only $40,000 (10,000 x $4) is credited to Common Stock.  The additional of $20,000 is credited to Additional Paid-in Capital.  This shows that the shares were issued above their par value.

b) When 2,000 shares of treasury stock were reacquired at a total cost of $7 per share, the Treasury Stock account is debited with the par value of $4 per share ($8,000).  The above par value difference is taken to the Additional Paid-in Capital account as a debit.

c) Dividends on preferred stock was prorated for 10 months, from January to October.  This is because the percentage dividend is for a year.

d) Dividends on common stock would not be prorated since they are based on annual percentages like preferred stock.  Dividends on the common stock is, therefore, calculable on the outstanding balance.  

e) Treasury Stock is a contra account to the Common Stock as it reduces the balance of common stock outstanding.  The outstanding balance of Treasury Stock increased to 12,000 (10,000 + 2,000).

f) Outstanding common stock reduced from 500,000 shares to 498,000 (500,000 + 10,000 - 12,000).  The additional 10,000 represented the new issue and the 12,000 represented the Treasury Stock.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

b. $2 billion trade surplus with country B.

Explanation:

When a country exports more than it imports, it is said that the country has a trade surplus. On the other hand, when a country imports more than it exports, it is said that the country has a trade deficit.

In this case, exports to country B are worth $10 billion which are larger than the $8 billion of imports from country B. Country A's trade surplus is given by:

S = \$10-\$8\\S=\$2\ billion

Therefore, the answer is alternative b.
