Rosa and Nick need to decide which one of them will take time off from work to complete the rather urgent task of digging postholes for their new fence. Rosa is pretty good with a post auger; she can dig the holes in 1 hour. Nick is somewhat slow; it takes him 6 hours to dig the holes. Rosa earns $120 per hour as a psychiatrist, while Nick earns $15 per hour as a cobbler. Keeping in mind that either Rosa or Nick must take time off from work to dig the holes, who has the lowest opportunity cost of completing the task?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Nick has lower opportunity cost.

Explanation:

Rosa can dig holes in 1 hour.  

Nick is slow and takes 6 hours to dig the holes.  

Rosa earns $120 per hour.  

Nick earns $15 per hour.  

The opportunity cost of digging holes for Rosa is $120 that she could have earned in that 1 hour.  

The opportunity cost for Nick is  

= $15 × 6  

= $90

It is evident that Nick has a lower opportunity cost.

Suppose the following statistics are available for the economy: CU = $60 billion RES = $100 billion DEP = $1000 billion (a) Calculate the size of the monetary base, the money supply, the reserve—deposit ratio, the currency—deposit ratio, and the money multiplier.
(b) Suppose the currency—deposit ratio rises to .10, while the reserve—deposit ratio and monetary base remain unchanged. Calculate the money multiplier, the money supply, and the new values of CU, RES, and DEP.

Answers

Answer:

a. 6.625.

b. C = 80 billion, DES = 800 billion and RES = 80 billion.

Explanation:

a) Monetary base = CU + RES = 160 billion. Money supply = CU + DES = 1060 billion. R-D ratio = 100/1000 = 0.10, C-D ratio = 60/1000 = 0.06, money multiplier = (1 + C-D)/(C-D + R-D) = (1 + 0.06)/(0.10 + 0.06) = 6.625.

b) Money multiplier = (1 + 0.10)/(0.10 + 0.10) = 5.5, money supply = monetary base x multiplier or money supply = 160 x 5.5 = 880 billion. CU + DES = 880 billion and C-D = 0.10. Hence C = 80 billion, DES = 800 billion and RES = 80 billion.

Workers and management agree on a contract that gives a 5% wage increase for each of the next three years. Everyone expected 3% inflation but inflation turned out to be 5% per year. Then at the end of three years... a. real wages will be higher than was expected.

b. real wages will have fallen

c. nominal and real wages will have changed by the same percentage.

d. real wages will be lower than was expected.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is (d)

Explanation:

Real wages are nominal wages less inflation. Nominal wage is not adjusted for inflation. Everyone had expected an inflation of 3% per year while increase in wages per year is 5%. This implied that they will expect real wage of 2% (5% - 3%) per year.

However, it turned out that inflation was 5% per year. This means that real wages were actually 0% (5% - 5%). There was no increase in real wages at all. So, they received lower real wage (actually nil) as against expected real wage of 3% per year.

Balance               0

Final answer:

The accrual net income for RPG Company in Year 2 is $55,000, and in Year 3 is $194,000. The amount due to the advertising agency shown as a liability on RPG's balance sheet at the end of Year 2 is $0, as it was completely paid off in that year.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the accrual net income and determine the liability of the advertising agency, we first need to correctly account for all the incomes and expenses. Here's how it works:

Accrual net income is calculated as revenues (Amounts billed to customers) minus expenses. For year 2, the expenses include Payments of rent, Salaries paid, Travel and entertainment, and Advertising costs. For year 3, as there was no rent payment and no liabilities at the end of the year, we deduct only the Salaries paid, Travel and entertainment, and Advertising costs from the revenues.

Revenues

Year 2: $320,000
Year 3: $420,000

Expenses

Year 2: Rent($77,000) + Salary($137,000) + Travel & Entertainment($27,000) + Advertising($24,000) = $265,000
Year 3: Salary($157,000) + Travel & Entertainment($37,000) + Advertising($32,000) = $226,000

Accrual Net Income

Year 2: $320,000 - $265,000 = $55,000
Year 3: $420,000 - $226,000 = $194,000

The amount owed to the advertising agency that should be considered as a liability at the end of year 2 can be figured out by taking into account the advertising expenses incurred in year 2 and the previous year's outstanding. But since we learn that there were no liabilities at the end of year 3, the outstanding $4,900 at the end of year 1 must be paid in year 2 along with the incurred cost of $24,000. Therefore, the liability at the end of year 2 would be $0.
