Answer:
B) Subculture shock
Explanation:
Culture shock is where one feels out of place due to a difference in their present environment from their previous environment brought about by differences in the attitudes and practices of people in their present environment. Joan is clearly experiencing subculture shock since her feeling of disorientation stems from the difference in practices and attitudes of Californian people, fitting our description of subculture shock. It is "subculture" since the people in California are still Americans though different from New Jersey inhabitants. She is not experiencing segregation as we are not told that she is in any way receiving a different sort of treatment from others based on any grounds whatsoever.
Pierson Industries has a beginning retained earnings balance of $42,500. An adjusted trial balance shows total expenses of $97,300 and revenue of $104,800. If dividends for the year were $3,500, determine the ending retained earnings balance for the year.
Answer:
$46,500
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Beginning retained earnings balance = $42,500
Total expenses = $97,300
Revenue = $104,800
Dividends for the year = $3,500
Now,
The ending retained earnings balance for the year will be
= Beginning retained earnings balance + Revenue - Total expenses - Dividends for the year
= $42,500 + $104,800 - $97,300 - $3,500
= $46,500

According to the Monetarist theory, _____________is a critical causal force that determines the nominal GDP..
Answer:
money supply
Explanation:
Monetarists are a branch of new classical economists that, as the name suggests, believe that money has a very important part to play within an economy.They believe that aggregate expenditures in the economy are influenced by the market rate of interest, and therefore money can affect the level of output in the short run economy.However, they further believe that money influences the long run unemployment in the economy. If monetary policies are used to increase aggregate demand, it is thought that this use of additional money may cause a short term boost in output, but will ultimately lead to inflation in the economy.
So the answer is money supply

You are considering purchasing an office building for $1,800,000. You expect the potential gross income (PGI) in the first year of operations to be $350,000; vacancy and collection losses to be 7 percent of PGI; and operating expenses and capital expenditures to be 35 percent of effective gross income (EGI). What is the implied first year overall capitalization rate
a) 9.50%
b) 10.26%
c) 10.49%
d) 11.75%
e) 13.20%
Answer:
D) 11.75%
Explanation:
The overall capitalization rate is calculated by dividing net income by the fair market value of the asset.
net income = effective gross income - operating expenses
effective gross income = potential gross income - vacancy and collection losses = $350,000 - ($350,000 x 7%) = $325,500
net income = $325,500 - ($325,500 x 35%) = $211,575
capitalization rate = $211,575 / $180,000 = 11.75%
How much cash MUST a buyer furnish in addition to a $2,500 deposit if the lending institution grants a 90% loan on an $80,000 property?
Answer:
$5,500
Explanation:
The computation of the cash required is shown below:
= Loan amount on property × remaining percentage - additional deposit
= $80,000 × 10% - $2,500
= $8,000 - $2,500
= $5,500
The remaining percentage would be
= Percentage - given percentage
= 100% - 90%
= 10%
The difference which comes is the cash requirement after considering the loan amount and the additional deposit
Assume that Jimmy Cash has $2,300 in his checking account at Folsom Bank and uses his checking account card to withdraw $230 of cash from the bank’s ATM machine. Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number. By what dollar amount did the M1 money supply change as a result of this single, isolated transaction?
Answer:
net change is 0
Explanation:
M1 type of money include cash and checking amounts. Jimmy withdraw $290 amount of money from account card by using bank ATM. Hence check able deposited is 2300 - 230 = $2070. This will decrease in M1 but the cash amount is also increases by some amount of $2300 therefore M1 again increase to same amount i.e. $2300. overall there is no change in M1 i.e net change is 0
Final answer:
The M1 money supply remained unchanged when Jimmy Cash withdrew $230 from his checking account, as the funds simply moved from one component of M1 to another without affecting the total.
Explanation:
When Jimmy Cash withdraws $230 from his checking account using an ATM, the M1 money supply does not change because the transaction involves shifting funds from one form of M1 (checkable deposits) to another form of M1 (currency in circulation). The definition of M1 includes both checkable deposits and physical currency; thus, when funds are transferred from a checking account to cash, there is no net change in the total M1 money supply.

Car salespersons are notorious for using the ________ technique, which involves changing terms after an agreement has been made.
a.foot-in-the-door
b.foot-in-the-mouth
c.door-in-the-face
d.lowball
Answer:
D) lowball
Explanation:
The lowball sales technique is used by salespeople who first offer a product or service at a low cost and then suddenly change some condition that increases the sales price.
For example, a car salesperson shows you a car and gives you a price. Once you have accepted that price, the salesperson says that the price was for the basic car trim and that the car you saw had a higher trim and therefore a higher price. If that doesn't work, and the client decides to purchase the car with the basic trim, the salesperson starts adding some extra expenses including but not limited to shipping and handling costs, taxes and sometimes even a fee for giving you the car clean and in a mint condition.
The key for a lowball sale is that the customer really likes and wants the product, and that the seller's argument for changing the price can convince the customer.

Nancy bought her home last year for $425,000. Her property taxes would be assessed at:_____.A) $425B) $1,500C) $2,250D) $4,250
Answer:
$4,250
Explanation:
Property tax is 1%
$425,000 x .01 = $4,250
Without the property tax rate, we cannot accurately determine Nancy's property taxes on her home valued at $425,000. Real-world property tax calculations require the tax assessment value multiplied by the local property tax rate.
Explanation:The question asks about the property tax assessment for Nancy's home, which she bought for $425,000. However, to give an accurate answer, we would need to know the property tax rate. Without that rate, we cannot calculate the actual taxes owed. Such tax rates are usually expressed in terms of mills (one mill is equal to $1 in tax per $1,000 of assessment), and they can vary widely from one location to another.
Given the options provided (A, B, C, and D) and no tax rate specified, we cannot determine what her property taxes would be. In real-world scenarios, it's necessary to multiply the assessment value by the property tax rate to get the annual tax amount. If the student can provide a tax rate, we can apply it to the home value of $425,000 to determine the correct answer.
Chad incurred capital gains and losses during the current year. He has a $7,000 net short-term capital gain; a $14,000 long-term capital loss in the 15% category; and a $10,000 long-term capital gain taxed at 28%. How will these transactions be taxed after the gains and losses are combined?
Answer:
$3,000 of net short-term capital gain will be taxed at marginal rates
Explanation:
The $14,000 long-term capital loss will offset the $10,000 long-term capital gain. The remaining $4,000 long-term capital loss can offset some of the net short term capital gain: $7,000 - $4,000 = $3,000
Which of the following is not a proven strategy for reducing thinking errors in the workplace?A. Use of evidence and informationB. Decision supportC. Management memos and policiesD. Bias awarenessE. Reflection and discussion
Answer: Management memos and policies.
Explanation:
Management memos and policies sometimes may seem unfair or tedious to the employees when they may not actually be that way in reality, which is a form of thinking error.
Thinking error is a wrong pattern of interpreting things/events by an individual which in most cases turns out not to be true.
To avoid thinking errors information and motives should be passed across in a more clearer manner.
Final answer:
Bias awareness by itself is not a proven strategy for reducing thinking errors in the workplace; instead, utilizing evidence, decision support, reflection, and management policies are more effective in promoting effortful thinking.
Explanation:
The question asks which of the following is not a proven strategy for reducing thinking errors in the workplace. According to the provided information, bias awareness on its own is not enough to effectively reduce biases or thinking errors. Early research, such as that by Fischhoff (1982), indicated that simply being aware of biases does not substantially reduce them. Instead, strategies such as the use of evidence and information, decision support systems, reflection and discussion, and management memos and policies are more effective because they promote careful and effortful thinking (Kahneman), and they help transition from intuitive System 1 thinking to a more deliberative System 2 thought process (Chugh, 2004).

$35,000 is the cash value and should be recorded as the vlue of the building.
If this market behaved like most markets, you would expect:A. equilibrium quantity to rise or fall and equilibrium price to fall.B. equilibrium quantity and price to rise.C. equilibrium quantity and price to fall.D. equilibrium quantity to rise or fall and equilibrium price to rise.
Answer:
C. equilibrium quantity and price to fall.
Explanation:
Equilibrium of price is the intersection of demand and supply curve at a price, which mean quantity demanded is equal to quantity demanded. There is shift in demand or supply curve due change in various factor, like price, income, customer´s preference, technologies etc. If market reachs below equilibrium price then there will be higher demand and low supply in the market. Shift in demand and supply curve lead to increase or decrease in equilibrium price and quantity. If demand curve shift downward, which means there is decrease in quanity demanded and supply does not change, which lead both equilibrium price and quantity to fall.

For several years in a row, the east coast cities of the nation suffered extremely cold winters. Demand for home heating oil was very inelastic. How did the elasticity of supply impact the changes in price that resulted from the increased demand? a) Supply is elastic, therefore, the price increased more than it otherwise would have. b) Supply is inelastic, therefore, the price increased more than it otherwise would have. c) The elasticity of supply would have no impact on the price changes. d) Supply is inelastic, therefore, the price increased less than it otherwise would have. e) Other factors impacted price of heating oil more than elasticity of supply or demand.
Answer:
B) Supply is inelastic, therefore, the price increased more than it otherwise would have.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand (PED) measures how much the quantity demanded of a product or service changes proportionally to a change in the price of the product or service.
If PED < 1, the demand is inelastic
PED > 1, the demand is elastic
PED = 1, the demand is unitary
When the PED is inelastic, if the price of a product or service changes 1%, then the quantity demanded will change less than 1%.
In this case the price increased a lot, but the quantity demanded only decreased a little bit.
This type of transaction is one that a business encounters on a regular, recurring basis. The volume of the transactions is so large that transactions and the related accounting activities become second nature to the employees responsible for handling them. Specific authorization for each of these transactions is not necessary. The type of transaction referred to is:
Answer:
Routine transaction
Explanation:
Firms and organisations generally consist of various transactions on a daily basis. Some of them require specific authorisations and some do not. Those transactions which do not require specific laws or approval before the transaction is called a routine transaction. Similarly, routine transactions are payroll transactions, sales, purchases and receipts. They are done on the normal course of business, and certain specific applications are made once to account for these transactions.
In 2021, it was discovered that Hines 55 had debited expense for the full cost of an asset purchased on January 1, 2018. The cost was $24 million with no expected residual value. Its useful life was 5 years and straight-line depreciation is used by the company. The correcting entry assuming the error was discovered in 2021 before the adjusting and closing entries includes:a.A credit to accumulated depreciation of $14.4 millionb.A debit to accumulated depreciation of $9.6 millionc.A debit to retained earnings of $9.6 milliond.A credit to an asset of $24 million
Answer:
A) A credit to accumulated depreciation of $14.4 Million
Explanation:
The complete journal entry should be:
Dr Asset XXX account 24,000,000Cr Accumulated Depreciation account 14,400,000Cr Retained Earnings account 9,600,000
First of all the asset must be recorded at full value.
Accumulated depreciation would be credited for 3 years = ($24 / 5) x 3 = $4.8 x = $14.4
Since the depreciation expense lowered the net profits during 2018, the retained earnings must be adjusted for the remaining value = $24 - $14.4 = $9.8
