Answer:
A. 1/3 computers
B. 0.6 computers
Explanation:
A. The opportunity cost incurred by the US to make cars is the number of computers it would have to give up to make a car.
The US can either make 12 cars or 4 computers. For every car made therefore the US forgoes;
= 4/12
= 1/3 computers.
B. The same logic applies to Japan. They can either make 10 cars or 6 computers.
Their opportunity cost for cars is therefore;
= 6/10
= 0.6 computers

How much money should Timothy and Tiffany deposit annually for 20 years in order to provide an income of $30,000 per year for the next 10 years? Assume an interest rate is a constant 4%
Answer:
$8,171.37
Explanation:
first we must find the value of their account before they start receiving the distributions, (i.e. how much money they need to have in 20 years):
present value = annual payments x annuity factor
annual payments = $30,000annuity factor (PV, 4%, 10 periods) = 8.1109present value = $30,000 x 8.1109 = $234,327
now we need to calcualte the annual contribution in order to have $234,327 in 20 years:
future value = annual payment x annuity factor
annual payment = future value / annuity factor
future value = $234,327annuity factor (FV, 4%, 20 periods) = 29.778annual payment = $234,327 / 29.778 = $8,171.37
Answer: $8,171.44
Explanation:
The present value of the income of 10 years now is the future value of the payments in 20 years.
The present value is therefore;
= 30,000 * Present value of annuity interest factor, 4%, 10 years
= 30,000 * 8.111
= $243,330
As $243,330 is the future value of the payments in 20 years.
The payment is therefore;
243,330 = Payment * Future value of annuity interest factor, 4%, 20 years
243,330 = Payment * 29.7781
Payment = 243,330/29.7781
= $8,171.44

The key principle of supply chain management can be best summed up as ________ between multiple firms.
Answer:
Collaboration.
Explanation:
Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers.

"A married couple, where both individuals work, earns in excess of $124,000 in year 2020. Both individuals are covered by qualified retirement plans. Which statement is TRUE regarding contributions to Individual Retirement Accounts for these persons?"
Answer:
The question is not complete. Let me explain Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA)
Explanation:
There are two types of Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA). These are the Roth IRA and the Traditional IRA.
The maximum contributions allowed to Roth IRAs for 2020 are $6,000 for investors younger than 50 and $7,000 for investors older than 50.
If you’re single and you have no workplace plan, or if you’re married and neither you nor your spouse has a workplace plan, you may fully deduct your IRA contribution--regardless of your income. However, if you don’t have an employer-sponsored plan, but your spouse has one, you may deduct the full amount if you’re married filing jointly, and your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is $196,000 or less.
For Traditional IRA, married couples filing jointly can take the full deduction if they make less than $104,000. If you collectively earn between $104,000 and $124,000, you can take a partial deduction. And if you earn more than $124,000, you may not deduct anything.For Roth IRA, single filers with modified adjusted gross income (MAGIs) ranging between $124,000 to $139,000 may contribute a reduced amount.Traditional IRAs are funded with pre-tax dollars, this means that you can write off the contribution during the year you make it. But this is governed by numerous factors.

C. The Perrys’ itemized deduction is limited to the interest on the $400,000 mortgage.
D. None of the statements is true.
Answer: D. None of the statements is true.

When multiple residences are owned, tax laws indicate that itemized deductions for interest paid on mortgages are limited to the mortgages of 2 residences alone being the primary residence and any other residence that will be chosen as the second residence in the tax year.
As such, all the options are wrong as they would be limited to itemized deductions on mortgage interest for;
= $290,000 + $400,000
= $690,000 being the first 2 residences

Deanne is a vocal critic of socialism. She likes to point out that in recent years the governments in many socialistic nations have cut back on government services and have reduced taxes. Deanne believes that this trend will ultimately result in all nations adopting pure capitalistic ideals. Recent evidence suggests that Deanne's views are essentially correct.
a. True
b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Socialism is a theory that posits that production, and distribution, of goods and services should be in charge of the government. This is quite different from capitalism which advocates for the individuals to be in charge.
Even though it is true that governments of many socialistic nations have cut back on government services and have reduced taxes, this doesn't mean that all nations are adopting pure capitalistic ideals according to Deanne.
She's incorrect because there are still some elements of socialism and government interference, hence, such economies are regarded as mixed economies as they've attributes of both capitalism and socialism.
Deanne's observations is untrue as government involvement in free market economies is being ignored by her.

They can always take loans through school friends but I feel it's the most convenient option, so once you have extra cash, you could refund it.Angelina is hired to work for Pupco Inc. for two years. Which of the following is true?A. Angelina has the right to quit after six months.
B. Pupco has the right to fire Angelina after six months.
C. Pupco has the power to fire Angelina after six months.
D. Two of these. E. None of these.
Answer:
B. Pupco has the right to fire Angelina after six months.
Explanation:
Angelina as the employee, can decide when to quit freely and Pupco as the employer cannot force her to keep working. Depending on specific clauses, Angelina might have to give a 1 or 2 weeks notice that she is quitting, but ultimately she can quit whenever she wants. The same does not apply to the employer, which cannot fire Angelina immediately or if she does, Pupco will have to pay her normal wages as if she had worked during a minimum amount of time. Laws generally protect the least powerful party and in a labor relationship, the employee is the least powerful party.

For most high-income countries of the world, GDP _________________ over time.
Answer:
For most high-income countries of the world, GDP HAS INCREASED GRADUALLY over time.
Explanation:
Both GDP and GDP per capita has increased for almost all high income countries. Actually the only country in the world that was once rich and had a very high GDP and GDP per capita that turned into a developing country (AKA poor country) is Argentina. It is a unique case in all the world, since Argentina had the highest GDP per capita for 2 years (1895 and 1896) and continued to have a relatively high GDP per capita more than 60 years.

The distinguishing feature of economic capital (as opposed to financial capital, like money) is that it is:__________. a. expensive. b. profitable. c. productive.
Answer:
C. Productive
Explanation:
The distinguishing feature of economic capital (as opposed to financial capital, like money) is that it is productive. Thus, option 'C' is the correct option.
What is economic capital?Economic capital is the sum of money employed by a company to safeguard itself against risk, its effects, and any losses brought on by unanticipated risk. It is a gauge of a company's solvency. Economic capital is thought of as a way for a company to protect itself against risks related to its operations, legislative changes, economic factors, and market volatility.
Economic capital determines a firm's operational and market risks. In many cases, the anticipated risk is transformed into capital, which provides a clear picture of a firm's solvency. Capital in finance is frequently described in monetary terms. Financial capital is made up of two parts: debt and equity. The debt-to-equity ratio indicates a company's financial health.

The use of which tool of the Federal Reserve has the smallest impact on money supply levels?a. Open market operationsb. Discount ratec. Reserve requirementsd. Margin on securities
Answer: d. Margin on securities
Explanation:
Margin Requirements on securities are collateral that a trader must keep when they want to borrow money. The Fed can control money supply using this by increasing the margin requirement which would reduce the amount that the trader will have to trade with thereby reducing money supply.
This represents the least effective monetary tool of the 4 options listed for the simple reason that it mainly affects the stock market which is although big, is not big enough to match the influence of the other instruments of monetary policy.
