Answer:
Each of the following is a characteristic of a defined benefit retirement plan EXCEPT:
The plan assigns the risk of pre-retirement inflation, investment performance, and adequacy of retirement income to the employee.
Explanation:
No. With a defined benefit retirement plan, the risk of pre-retirement inflation, investment performance, and adequacy of retirement income is never assigned to the employee. Instead, the employer bears this risk. The defined benefit plan always specifies the benefit to which an employee is entitled to at retirement. It also demands that the employee must work for a certain defined period to be entitled to this benefit. By its nature, the defined benefit plan provides a fixed and pre-established benefit for employees. This is why it is preferred by employees.

B. summing the amount of sales by the four largest firms and dividing by total industry sales.
C. dividing the number of firms wanting to merge by the total number in the industry.
D. summing the squares of the market shares of each firm in the industry.
Answer:
Option D: Summing the squares of the market shares of each firm in the industry.
Explanation:
The Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) is a use worldwide as measure of market concentration. It's calculation is based on squaring the market share of each firm competing in a market, and thereafter the resulting numbers are summed up. It commonly range known is simply from zero to 10,000. It is used by U.S. Department of Justice uses for potential mergers issues evaluation. It is a measure of industry concentration by the sum of the squares of the market shares held by each of the firms in the industry.
The Herfindahl index shows a decrease in competition and an increase of market power, when there is an increase and decreases is the opposite.

Gonzalez, Inc. has a fiscal year-end of September 30th. On March 1, 2018, Gonzalez authorized $800,000 of bonds payable, with a term of 12 years. The bonds carry a stated interest rate of 6%, with interest to be paid semi-annually on February 28th and August 31st. On August 1, 2019, Gonzalez issued three-quarters of the bonds for cash, at a premium of $25,400.
Required:
Prepare the journal entries that would be required relating to the bonds over period March 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019.
Answer:
August 1, 2019
Dr. Cash $625,400
Cr. Premium on Bond $25,400
Cr. Bond Payable $600,000
August 31, 2019
Dr. Interest Expense $16,941.67
Dr. Premium on Bond $1,058.33
Cr. Cash __________$18,000
September 30, 2019
Dr. Interest Expense $2,823.61
Dr. Premium on Bond $176.39
Cr. Cash __________$3,000
Explanation:
August 1, 2019
As the Bond was issued on August 1, 2019, So the first entry will be made at the issuance
Issuance of Bond = Total authorized x 3/4 = $800,000 x 3/4 = $600,000
Cash receipt = Face value + Premium on Bond = $600,000 + $25,400 = $625,400
August 31, 2019
As interest is paid on this date.
Interst payment = Face value x Coupon rate = $600,000 x 6% x 6/12 = $18,000
Amortization of Bond Premium ( Straight line ) = Premium on Bond / ( Years to maturity x Coupon payment period per year ) = $25,400 / ( 12 years x 2 periods per year ) = $1,058.33
September 30, 2019
On this date interest of one month is accrued which needs to be recorded.
Interest payable = 600,000 x 6% x 1/12 = $3,000
Amortization of Bond Premium ( Straight line ) = ( 25,400 / 24 ) / 6 = $176.39

ABC, a U.S. company sends by fax an offer to sell to XYZ, a French company, 1,000,000 widgets for $1.00 a widget. XYZ sends back a counter offer of $.75 a widget. ABC rejects the counter offer and sells the widgets to GHK Inc. instead. XYZ then sends an acceptance of the original offer of $1.00. ABC has a contract with XYZ and must give them the 1,000,000 widgets for $1.00 a wideget because they accepted the offer.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
The correct option is B. False.
Further explanation is given below in the explanation section.
Explanation:
Offer From ABC Company to XYZ Company:
1,000,000 widgets to sell.
Selling Price of 1 widget = $1.00
Total Price = $1,000,000
Counter Offer from XYZ company to ABC Company.
Selling Price = $0.75
Total Price = 0.75 x 1,000,000 = $750,000
But in the end, ABC company sold its widgets to GHK company.
The correct option to this question is false.
This case is false because here ABC sends an original offer of $1 but XYZ sent a counter offer of $0.75. This counter offer was then duly rejected by ABC.
XYZ cannot again confirm and accept the original offer of ABC because they have already rejected your claim and thus XYZ have to wait until ABC make them another offer.
A company owns a 5-year old turret lathe that has a book value of $25,000. The present market value for the lathe is $16,000. The expected decline in market value is $2,000/year to a minimum market value of $4000. maintenance plus operating costs for the lathe equal $4,200/year. A new turret lathe can be purchased for $45,000 and will have an expected life of 8 years. The market value for the turret lathe is expected to equal $45,000(0.70)k at the end of year k. Annual maintenance and operating cost is expected to equal $1,600.
Based on a 12% before-tax MARR, should the old lathe be replaced now? Use an equivalent uniform annual cost comparison, a planning horizon of 7 years, and the cash flow approach.
Answer:
old lathe should not be replaced now
Explanation:
Using MARR of 12%
Price decline of 2000 per year ; salvage value = (present market value - does cline per year)
Present market value of old lathe = $16000
Opening market value at year end = (16000 * 1.12) = 17920
Add: Maintainace plus operating cost = $4200 / year
Salvage value = 16000 - 2000 = 14000
Annual cost : (Opening market value + operating cost - salvage value)
Annual cost :
Year 1 = (17920 + 4200 - 14000) = 8120
Year 2:
Opening market value at year end = (14000 * 1.12) = 15680
Salvage value = (14000 - 2000) = 12000
Annual cost :
Year 1 = (15680 + 4200 - 12000) = 7880
Year 3:
Opening market value at year end = (12000 * 1.12) = 13440
Salvage value = (12000 - 2000) = 10000
Annual cost :
Year 1 = (13440 + 4200 - 10000) = 7640
Year 4:
Opening market value at year end = (10000 * 1.12) = 11200
Salvage value = (10000 - 2000) = 8000
Annual cost :
Year 1 = (11200 + 4200 - 8000) = 7400
New machine :
Opening market value of year end = (45000 * 1.12) = 50,400
Add : Maintenance plus Operating expense = $1600
Salvage value = 45000 * 0.7 = 31500
Annual cost :
50400 + 1600 - 31500
= 20500
New machine has a far greater annual cost thb the old, hence the old machine should still be used for now.
Last year Kruse Corp had $440,000 of assets (which is equal to its total invested capital), $403,000 of sales, $28,250 of net income, and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 39%. The new CFO believes the firm has excessive fixed assets and inventory that could be sold, enabling it to reduce its total assets and total invested capital to $252,500. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Sales, costs, and net income would not be affected, and the firm would maintain the same capital structure (but with less total debt). By how much would the reduction in assets improve the ROE
Answer:
The reduction in assets would improve the ROE by 7.81%.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Previous equity = (100% - Debt-to-total-capital ratio) * Previous total invested capital = (100% - 39%) * $440,000 = 61% * $440,000 = $268,400
Previous return on equity (ROE) = (Net income / Previous equity) * 100 = ($28,250 / $268,400) * 100 = 10.53%
New equity = (100% - Debt-to-total-capital ratio) * New total invested capital = (100% - 39%) * $252,500 = 61% * $252,500 = $154,025
New ROE = (Net income / New equity) * 100 = ($28,250 / $154,025) * 100 = 18.34%
Change in ROE = New ROE - Previous ROE = 18.34% - 10.53% = 7.81%
Since change in ROE is 7.81% and positive, this implies that the reduction in assets would improve the ROE by 7.81%.

ATTACK ON TITAN SPOILER WARNING
I dont really agree with what he is doing, he used to protect his friends at all costs and dint want Armin and Mikasa to join the scouts because he did not want them to get hurt or die. He tried his best to make sure his friends were safe in seasons 1-3, but now he puts them in harm's way just to succeed with his plan. Sasha has to pay the price of Eren's recklessness, and all of the scouts are starting to doubt Eren. I feel like Eren has lost himself in the process of trying to gain freedom. I still love Eren, but I don't compeletly agree with him. That man just needs a hug. He's tired of this war.

With this in mind,
A. Sofaland would be included in the GDP of the US, since the table was made and sold in the US in 2017.
B. The finished tax return by the accountant would not be included in the GDP as production for 2018 as it is not yet finished.
C. The lumber company treetopplers would not be included as part of the GDP since the production of lumber cannot be regarded as final good.
D. Athleticism"s importation from Vietnam to the US is not part of gdp since it is not domestic production.
E. Zippycar made the car in the us and sold in the US same year. This would be included in gdp of US.

Sick leaves and vacation Policy:
Allowed Sick Leaves for each employee = 8 days/year
Paid Leave = 1 day/Month worked
Accrued Vacation condition = Worked for company for at least 1 year
Sick leaves if not used = 18 days accumulated.
Daily Gross Wages = $180 for each employee.
Part 1:
So, we know that,
The company records its liability to compensated absences for both sick leave.
on quarterly basis (5 x 2 = 10 days).
pay per each employ = $180.
The company records its liability to compensated absences for both sick leave.
On quarterly basis = 10 x 180 = $1800.
In a quarter each employee is allowed to avail 3 vacation days, so the total vacations days for 5 employees for a quarter 3 x 5=15 days
gross wage for each employee is $180 per day
for vacation days= 15 x 180= $2700
To record this transaction the journal entry is:
wages expenses $2700
Accumulated wages $2700
Part 2:
The partial interim balance compensation for future absences at March 31, 2019
= $1800 + $2700
= $4500.
Jeremiah expressed his disdain for the economic reports he heard on the news. "All economists care about is increasing GDP," he said. "I wish economists cared about living conditions and well-being instead of just some economic indicator." How could you acknowledge the shortcomings of GDP to Jeremiah, while also showing him how GDP functions as both an economic indicator and a measure of well-being? While it is true that GDP calculations omit such things as and , it is still a useful way to measure .
Answer: the value as opposed to the price of an item; environmental degradation; total output and income.
Explanation:
While it is true that GDP calculations omit such things as the value as opposed to the price of an item and environmental degradation, it is still a useful way to measure total output and income.
Gross Domestic Product is a means of measuring economic performance over a given period(usually a year). It works by adding up the final value of the goods and services produced in a country in that given period and thus can show the total output and income in a country.
Sadly however, it has some shortcomings. One of those is that it uses the prices of goods not their actual value. Another is that it does not take into account important factors such as environmental degradation which if added, would reduce GDP because the environment on average suffers negatively from production.

Suppose that Portugal and Austria both produce beer and cheese. Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 3 barrels of beer while Austria's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 11 barrels of beer.
By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that_______has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese and _______ has a comparative advantage in the production of beer.
Suppose that Portugal and Austria consider trading cheese and beer with each other. Portugal can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than_______of beer for each pound of cheese it exports to Austria. Similarly, Austria can gain from trade as long as it receives more than _______ of cheese for each barrel of beer it exports to Portugal.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of cheese in terms of beer) would allow both Austria and Portugal to gain from trade?
A. 4 barrels of beer per pound of cheese
B. 6 barrels of beer per pound of cheese
C. 13 barrels of beer per pound of cheese
D. 2 barrels of beer per pound of cheese
Answer:
Portugal and Austria
Comparative Advantage in the Production of Beer and Cheese:
1a. Portugal
b. Austria
2. a. 3 barrels and
b. 0.09 or 1/11 pounds
3. A. 4 barrels of beer per pound of cheese
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese = 3 barrels of beer
Austria's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese = 11 barrels of beer
Price of trade (cheese in terms of beer) = 11/3 = 3.667 = 4
b) Portugal's comparative advantage over the production of cheese is her economy's ability to produce cheese at a lower opportunity cost than Austria. This comparative advantage gives Portugal the ability to sell cheese at a lower price than Austria and realize a more favorable balance of trade.

Suppose that when the price of gasoline is $3.50 per gallon, the total amount of gasoline purchased in the United States is 6 million barrels per day. Also, suppose that when the price of gas decreases to $3 per gallon, the total amount of gasoline purchased is 8 million barrels per day. Based on these numbers and using the midpoint formula, the price elasticity of demand for gasoline is:
By definition, the price elasticity of demand for gasoline is -2.33.
Price elasticity of demandThe price elasticity of demand is a measure used to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity demanded of a good or service to changes in the price of that good or service.
That is, the price elasticity of demand indicates to what extent changes in price alter the demand for specific products or services.
The price elasticity of demand is calculated by dividing the percentage change in demand by the percentage change in price, resulting in the following expression:
[tex]Elasticity=\frac{percentage change in quantity demanded}{percentage change in price}[/tex]
[tex]Elasticity=\frac{\frac{deltaQ}{Q} }{\frac{deltaP}{P} }[/tex]
where:
deltaQ means the absolute change in quantities demanded.Q represents quantity.deltaP represents the absolute change in price.P represents the price.Price elasticity of demand for gasolineKnowing that:
When the price of gasoline is $3.50 per gallon, the total amount of gasoline purchased in the United States is 6 million barrels per day. When the price of gas decreases to $3 per gallon, the total amount of gasoline purchased is 8 million barrels per day.First, the percentage change in quantities is calculated as follows:
The absolute change in quantities deltaQ is obtained by first subtracting the final demand from the initial demand, that is (8 million – 6 million = 2 million)Now dividing this value by the initial demand, you obtain 2 million÷6 million=0.333, which, taken to a percentage value, finally shows that the percentage change in quantity demanded is 0.333×100%= 33.3%.Now the percentage change in price is determined as follows:
The absolute change in the deltaP price is obtained by subtracting the final price from the initial price, that is (3 – 3.5= -0.5).Now dividing this value by the initial price -0.5/3.5, we obtain -0.143, which, taken as a percentage value, shows that the percentage variation in the price is -0.143x100%= -14.3%.Finally, the price elasticity of demand is calculated as:
[tex]Elasticity=\frac{33.3}{-14.3}[/tex]
Solving:
Elasticity= -2.33
In summary, the price elasticity of demand for gasoline is -2.33.
