Calculate the present worth of all costs for a newly acquired machine with an initial cost of $28,000, no trade-in value, a life of 14 years, and an annual operating cost of $17,000 for the first 5 years, increasing by 10% per year thereafter. Use an interest rate of 10% per year.

The present worth of all costs for a newly acquired machine is determined to be

The Wall Street Journal presented data suggesting that United Airlines was not covering its costs on flights from San Francisco to Washington D.C,. The article quoted analysts saying that United should discontinue this service. The costs per flight included the costs of fuel, pilots, attendants, food, etc. used on the flights. They also included shared costs associated with running the hubs at the two airports, such as ticket agents, building charges, baggage handlers, gate charges, etc. Suppose that the revenue collected on the typical United flight from San Francisco to Washington does not cover the costs. Does this fact imply that United should discontinue these flights? What could we learn from this case of study?

PLEASE ANSWER BELOW QUESTIONS...…………………………………. THANKS

Hints: 1) discuss the differences between fixed costs and variable costs and how they could affect our decision-making.

2) How would consumers react if United airlines discontinued the service?

Stock Dividends

On August 1, 2020, Perkins declares a 15% Common Stock dividend. The market (fair) value of the stock on August 1, 2020, is $30 per share. August 15, 2020, is the date of record. The stock dividend will be distributed on August 31, 2020. Instructions: (a) Prepare all required journal entries for August 1, 15, and 31, 2020. If no journal entry is required, state NA. (b) Assume that Perkins declares a 30% Common Stock dividend instead of a 15% stock dividend. Prepare all required journal entries for August 1, 15, and 31, 2020. If no journal entry is required, state NA

Research question:

Why has the number of Covid- 19 (Corona Virus) cases continued to be on the increase in India despite massive sensitization by the government?

Trade Barriers and Exchange Rates. This question is meant to illustrate how taris and trade costs can inuence exchange rates. Suppose there is a single good that's traded in both the United States and Europe. Let pDt denote the price, in dollars, of the good in the United States; let pFt denote the price, in euros, of the good in Europe. Let Et denote the exchange rate, in euros per dollar. American consumers can purchase goods from either a foreign supplier or a domestic supplier. There are two wrinkles, one related to policy, and one related to technology.

The U.S. government levies a tax on goods imported from Europe. To be precise, if an American brings X units of goods into the country from Europe, then the person needs to pay the U.S. government the market value of τ × X units of goods. American consumers do not have to pay taxes on goods purchased from American suppliers.

We consider the cost of moving goods across borders. Assume that an American importer loses a fraction ι of goods in transit. That is, if you load X units of goods onto your boat in Rotterdam, then i × X units fall on the boat, leaving you with (1 − i) × X units of goods by the time the boat arrives in New York. (That's a stylized story about transit costs, but it's equivalent to assuming that the cost of shipping is proportional to the market value of goods being shipped.) (a) How much does it cost, in euros, for an American to buy one unit of goods from a European supplier? This is the total cost, including taxes and transport costs, so your answer should include τ and i. (b) How much does it cost, in dollars, for an American to acquire the euros necessary to purchase one unit of goods from a European supplier? (c) What does the principle of no arbitrage imply about the relationship between the cost of goods from European suppliers and the cost of goods from American suppliers? Provide a brief (one sentence) answer in words, and provide an equation. (d) Does the dollar appreciate or depreciate if the U.S. government increases the tariff τ? Provide a brief (one or two sentence) explanation. (e) Does the dollar appreciate or depreciate if an improvement in shipping technology causes ι to fall? Provide a brief (one or two sentence) explanation.

Wine Price Study Data

You area an statistician tasked with the challenge of proving that the nation of Remulak is selling its wine in the United States at a price below that which is charged domestically in Remulak. The issue is that the Remulak government is coordinating predatory pricing by subsidizing a lower price charged in the US in order to stimulate export demand for their most prolific product. The data available has been collected from random samples of single bottles of Remulak wine sold in both the United States and in Remulak. Currency exchange experts have adjusted the price charged in Remulak to US Dollars reflecting both the exchange rate differences and differences in real prices between the two nations. You should prepare confidence intervals of the difference of the two pricing levels at both the 95% and 99 % confidence levels. Further, you should conduct an appropriate hypothesis test for a difference in price of $1.70 per bottle lower in the US, which agricultural economists have determined is the minimum difference required to significantly induce increases in US demand for Remulak wine. Please include your math calculations.
