Explain in 700 words why freedom of the press is an important form of liberty in the American system of government.
In: Economics
Luxury Car Corp is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $237,600 is estimated to result in $179,200 in annual pretax cost savings. The new machine will be depreciated in straight line basis and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $78,400 (before taxes). The press also requires an initial investment in net working capital of $28,400. If the shop's tax rate is 34 percent and its discount rate is 19 percent, what is the NPV for this project?

12.Calculating EACYou are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $265,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $41,000 per year. The Techron II costs $330,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs 196 of $52,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $25,000. If your tax rate is 21 percent and your discount rate is 9 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. Which do you prefer? Why?
13.Cost-Cutting ProposalsStarset Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $670,000 is estimated to result in $245,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the 5-year MACRS class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $55,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $20,000, along with an additional $2,500 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the shop’s tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 8 percent, should the company buy and install the machine press?

The University of
BostonBoston
Press is wholly owned by the university. It performs the bulk of its work for other university departments, which pay as though the press were an outside business enterprise. The press also publishes and maintains a stock of books for general sale. The press uses normal costing to cost each job. Its job-costing system has two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct manufacturing labor) and one indirect-cost pool (manufacturing overhead, allocated on the basis of direct manufacturing labor costs). The following data (in thousands) pertain to 2017:
Direct materials and supplies purchased on credit $840
Direct materials used 740
Indirect materials issued to various production departments 140
Direct manufacturing labor 1,350
Indirect manufacturing labor incurred by various production departments 950
Depreciation on building and manufacturing equipment 440
Miscellaneous manufacturing overhead* incurred by various production departments
(ordinarily would be detailed as repairs, photocopying, utilities, etc.) 540
Manufacturing overhead allocated at 170% of direct manufacturing labor costs ?
Cost of goods manufactured 4,130
Revenues 8,900
Cost of goods sold (before adjustment for under- or overallocated manufacturing overhead) 4,050
Inventories, December 31, 2016 (not 2017):
Materials Control 160
Work-in-Process Control 60
Finished Goods Control 530
*The term manufacturing overhead is not used uniformly. Other terms that are often encountered in printing companies include job overhead and shop overhead.

Flexible Overhead Budget
Leno Manufacturing Company prepared the following factory overhead cost budget for the Press Department for October of the current year, during which it expected to require 9,000 hours of productive capacity in the department:
| Variable overhead cost: | ||
| Indirect factory labor | $81,900 | |
| Power and light | 3,870 | |
| Indirect materials | 25,200 | |
| Total variable overhead cost | $110,970 | |
| Fixed overhead cost: | ||
| Supervisory salaries | $38,840 | |
| Depreciation of plant and equipment | 24,410 | |
| Insurance and property taxes | 15,540 | |
| Total fixed overhead cost | 78,790 | |
| Total factory overhead cost | $189,760 |
Assuming that the estimated costs for November are the same as for October, prepare a flexible factory overhead cost budget for the Press Department for November for 7,000, 9,000, and 11,000 hours of production. Round your interim computations to the nearest cent, if required. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

A coin that was featured in a famous novel sold at auction in 2014 for $2,654,800. The coin had a face value of $2 when it was issued in 1793 and had previously been sold for $380,000 in 1972. At what annual rate did the coin appreciate from its first minting to the 1972 sale? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

An education researcher is interested in students’
performance on a mathematics test for a novel---and generally
unfamiliar---concept. The researcher believes that if students
participate in an extracurricular training session, then they will
be more likely to perform better on the mathematics test.
This researcher is testing two hypotheses. The first is that the
training session provides specific instruction and has an effect on
students’ mathematics test scores. The second is that this
treatment effect is moderated by gender. Past research has
suggested that there should not be a main effect for gender.
However, to control for this possibility, a 2-way (2x2) factorial
ANOVA is being conducted to account for any influence from gender,
the treatment, and the interaction of the two main effects.
To test the hypotheses, the research has obtained 28 participants:
14 boys and 14 girls. From each group of 14, 7 students were
randomly chosen for the treatment group. After the treatment, all
students were given the same test. This test has been used in
previous research, has a range of 0 to 100, and measures students’
ability to correctly perform the novel mathematics exercise. (The
higher the test score, the more positive the result.)
Use a 2x2 ANOVA with α=0.02α=0.02 to test the the data and evaluate
the hypotheses. Results are provided below for each group of
students.
