Answer:
E)are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost.
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition can be regarded as imperfect competition whereby many producers that are competing against each other exist in the market, though they are selling products which can be differentiated from one another. Monopolistically competitive firms do
maximize their profit if their production is at a level where marginal costs as well as its marginal revenues equals. Hence, monopolistically competitive firms are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost.
Your bank card has an APR of 21% and there is a 3% fee for cash advances. The bank starts charging interest on cash advances immediately. You get a cash advance of $500 on the first day of the month. You get your credit card bill at the end of the month. What is the approximate total finance charge you will pay on this cash advance for the month
Answer:
Total finance charge=$23.75
Explanation:
The amount charged for the use of the fund by a bank is called interest rate. Here it is quoted as 21% per annum but we will need to determine the approximate monthly rate by dividing by 12.
The total finance charge will be equal = Interest rate + advance fee
Monthly interest rate = 21/12 =1.75%
Interest payment = 1.75%× $500=$8.75
Advance fee = 3%× $500= $15
Total finance charge = $8.75 + $15= $23.75
Total finance charge=$23.75
A portfolio is composed of two stocks, A and B. Stock A has a standard deviation of return of 23%, while stock B has a standard deviation of return of 29%. Stock A comprises 70% of the portfolio, while stock B comprises 30% of the portfolio. If the variance of return on the portfolio is 0.042, the correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is _________. Multiple Choice 0.088 0.304 0.213 0.091
Answer:
0.304
Explanation:
The calculation has been done step by step in order to understand the final result. Note that (p) in the below working refers to the correlation coefficient between Stock A and B.
0.042 = (0.70^2)(0.23^2) + (0.30^2)(0.29^2) + 2(0.70)(0.30)(0.23)(0.29)p
0.042 = 0.0259 + 0.0076 + 0.028p
0.042 = 0.0335 + 0.028p
0.042 - 0.0335 = 0.028p
0.0085 = 0.028p
p = 0.0085 / 0.028
p = 0.304
What types of decision need to be made by groups?
Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following
Machine A could be purchased for $69,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,200 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $7,245.
Machine B could be purchased for $57,500. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $8,800 in year three, $11,000 in year six, and $13,200 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.
Required:
Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase?
Answer:
Esquire should purchase Machine B
Explanation:
Below is the calculation of the present values of Machine A & Machine B.
Machine A Period Amount Present Value Factor Present Value
Purchase Cost 0 ($69,000) 1 ($69,000)
Maintenance Cost 1 - 10 ($2,200) 6.71008 ($14,762)
Salvage Value 10 $7,245 0.46319 $3,356
Present Value of A ($80,406)
Machine B Period Amount Present Value Factor Present Value
Purchase Cost 0 ($57,500) 1 ($57,500)
Maintenance Cost
Year 3 3 ($8,800) 0.79383 ($6,986)
Year 6 6 ($11,000) 0.63017 ($6.932)
Year 8 8 ($13,200) 0.54027 ($7,132)
Present Value of B ($78,550)
Note the Following:
The Net Present Value of B is lower than the Value of Machine A. So, Machine B should be opted.For the Present Value Factor of Machine A's Maintenance Cost, the 10 year annuity value of 8% was calculated.Machine B has no salvage value after the 10th year period.The PPP theory fails in reality for all of the following reasons EXCEPT Group of answer choices monopolistic or oligopolistic practices in goods markets. restrictions on trade. inflation rates are unrelated to money supply growth. transport costs. the inflation data reported in different countries are based on different commodity baskets.
Answer:
inflation rates are unrelated to money supply growth.
Explanation:
purchasing power parity which is regarded as (PPP) is a macroeconomic analysis metric which gives comparison between economic productivity aas well as standards of living existing between countries. It can be regarded as economic theory which gives comparison of currencies of different countries using an approach of "basket of goods". The PPP theory can hold in reality for instance, when inflation rates are unrelated to money supply growth.
EXCEPT Group of answer choices monopolistic or oligopolistic practices in goods markets. restrictions on trade. the inflation data reported in different countries are based on different commodity baskets.

A proposed new project has projected sales of $219,000, costs of $96,000, and depreciation of $26,000. The tax rate is 23 percent. Calculate operating cash flow using the four different approaches. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Top-down
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the operating cash flow using the four different approaches is shown below:
1. EBIT + depreciation - taxes approach
But before that the net income would be
Sales $219,000
Less cost -$96,000
Less depreciation -$26,000
EBT $97,000
Less tax at 23% -$22,310
Net income $74,690
Now the operating cash flow is
= EBIT + depreciation - taxes
= $97,000 $26,000 - $22,310
= $100,690
2. top down approach
= Sales - cost - taxes
= $219,000 - $96,000 - $22,310
= $100,690
3. Tax shield approach
= (Sales - cost) × (1 - tax rate) + tax rate × depreciation expense
= ($219,000 - $96,000) × 0.23 + 0.23 × $26,000
= $94,710 + $5,980
= $100,690
4. Bottom up approach
= Net income + depreciation
= $74,690 + $26,000
= $100,690

Wright Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment, which would have an initial cost of $1,000,000 and a 5-year life. There is no salvage value for the equipment. The increase in cash flow each year of the equipment's life would be as follows: Year 1 $ 379,000 Year 2 $ 354,000 Year 3 $ 289,000 Year 4 $ 234,000 Year 5 $ 189,000 What is the payback period
Answer:
The payback period is 2 years and 337 days to cover the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flows:
Year 1 $ 379,000
Year 2 $ 354,000
Year 3 $ 289,000
Year 4 $ 234,000
Year 5 $ 189,000
Initial investment= $1,000,000
The payback period is the time required for the cash flows to cover the initial investment:
Year 1= 379,000 - 1,000,000= -621,000
Year 2= 354,000 - 621,000= -267,000
Year 3= 289,000 - 267,000= 22,000
To be more accurate:
(267,000 / 289,000)= 0.923*365= 337
The payback period is 2 years and 337 days to cover the initial investment.

Inviting Price Comparison.
Explanation:
In this type of comparison, the company develop two scenarios in which the first situation, the people compare the product price with the existing product and in the other situation where the company inform the customer to compare the product price with the existing product
Hence, the given situation represent the inviting price comparsion
Ron was vacationing in France, when his camera was stolen. As he walked into a camera store, Ron noticed that camera prices were in euros. If Ron was willing to pay $ for a new digital camera and the exchange rate is $ per euro, how much will Ron be paying in euros? Ron will be paying nothing euros for the camera. (Instructions: Enter your response by rounding two places after the decimal.)
Answer:
130.43 euros
Explanation:
Since Ron willing to Pay is $150
Now we have to convert $150 in euros
As we know that
exchange rate × willing to pay in euro = Willing to pay in Dollar
i.e.
willing to pay in euro = Willing to pay in Dollar ÷ Exchange rate
= 150 ÷ 1.15
= 130.43 euros
Hence, the ron be paying in euros is 130.43

Larry estimates that the costs of insurance, license, and depreciation to operate his car total $320 per month and that the gas, oil, and maintenance costs are 14 cents per mile. Larry also estimates that, on average, he drives his car 1,400 miles per month. Required: a. How much cost would Larry expect to incur during April if he drove the car 1,529 miles
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The question above is incomplete. The concluding part is
b. Would it be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 1,400 mile month. Yes or No
Given the above information,
a. Total number of miles driven = 1.529 miles
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost × Number of miles driven
= $320 + $0.14 × 1,529
= $320 + $214.06
= $534.06
b. Since $320 per month is the fixed, the fixed cost per mile will decrease with the increase in number of miles driven . It means that if he drives less than 1,400 miles , the actual cost will be more than the cost based on predetermined overhead rate of the cost.
No. It would not be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 1,400 mile month.
Todd has a $100,000 25-year mortgage with a 12% nominal interest rate convertible monthly. The first payment is due one month after the mortgage is taken out. Twelve years after taking out the mortgage (after making his 144th payment), he refinances with a new nominal interest rate of 8%, again convertible monthly. The new mortgage will be paid off on the same date as the original one. Calculate the difference in the monthly mortgage payment after refinancing.
Answer:
The right solution is "$178.86".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Interest rate,
= 10%
New nominal interest rate,
= 8%
Years,
= 24
As per the question,
On the original loan, the annul installments will be:
= [tex]100000\times 0.01\times 1.01^{\frac{300}{1.01^{300-1}}}[/tex]
= [tex]1053.22[/tex] ($)
As we know,
The remaining 156 instalments are charged throughout the PV after the 144th deposit,
= [tex]1053.22\times \frac{(1.01^{156-1})}{(0.01\times 1.01^{156}})[/tex]
= [tex]83,017.90[/tex] ($)
On the refinanced loan, the annul installments will be:
= [tex]83017.90\times 0.01\times \frac{1.01^{300}}{(1.01^{300-1})}[/tex]
= [tex]874.36[/tex] ($)
hence,
After refinancing, the difference in mortgage will be:
= [tex]Annual \ installment \ on \ original \ loan-Annual \ installment \ on \ refinanced \ loan[/tex]
= [tex]1053.22-874.36[/tex]
= [tex]178.86[/tex] ($)

Explanation:
A plant asset was purchased on January 1 for $140000 with an estimated salvage value of $20000 at the end of its useful life. The current year's Depreciation Expense is $10000 calculated on the straight-line basis and the balance of the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of the year is $40000. The remaining useful life of the plant asset is
Answer:
useful life= 12 years
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $140,000
Salvage value= $20,000
Annual depreciation= $10,000
To calculate the useful life, we need to use the straight-line method formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
10,000= (140,00 - 20,000) / useful life
10,000useful life = 120,000
useful life= 120,000 / 10,000
useful life= 12 years

Interest rates on 4-year Treasury securities are currently 5.55%, while 6-year Treasury securities yield 7.7%. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the question below. Open spreadsheet If the pure expectations theory is correct, what does the market believe that 2-year securities will be yielding 4 years from now? Calculate the yield using a geometric average. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
12.13%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the market believe that 2-year securities will be yielding 4 years from now using a geometric average
Yield=((1+6 year rate)^6/(1+4 year rate)^4)^(1/2)-1
Yield =((1+7.7%)^6/(1+5.55%)^4)^(1/2)-1
Yield =0.1213*100
Yield =12.13%
Therefore what the market believe that 2-year securities will be yielding 4 years from now
using a geometric average will be 12.13%
Batista Company management wants to maintain a minimum monthly cash balance of $19,900. At the beginning of April, the cash balance is $19,900, expected cash receipts for April are $244,400, and cash disbursements are expected to be $253,300. How much cash, if any, must be borrowed to maintain the desired minimum monthly balance

As 2017, Buttle Corp. has $10 par, 2% preferred stock, 6,500 shares outstanding, and $1 par common stock with 32,000 shares outstanding. The preferred stock is cumulative and preferred stockholders last received a dividend in 2014. If the company wants to distribute $4 per share to the common stockholders in 2017, what is the total amount of dividends that the company must pay at the end of the current year
Answer:
$131,900
Explanation:
Th computation of the total amount of dividend is shown below:
dividend per year for preferred stock is
= (10 × 6500) × 2%
= $1300
Now the total dividend for preferred stock is
= ($1300 × 3)
= $3900
And, the Total common dividend is
= (4 × 32,000)
= $128,000
So, the total dividend to be paid is
= $3,900 + $128,000
= $131,900

Explanation:
The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables. The following questions test your understanding of this distinction.
Deborah spends all of her money on magazines and donuts. In 2008 she earned $27.00 per hour, the price of a magazine was $9.00, and the price of a donut was $3.00.
Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable? Check all that apply.
a. The price of a donut is 0.33 magazines in 2008.
b. The price of a donut is $3.00 in 2008.
c. Deborah's wage is 3 magazines per hour in 2008.
Which of the following give the real value of a variable? Check all that apply.
a. The price of a magazine is $9.00 in 2008.
b. The price of a magazine is 3 donuts in 2008.
c. Deborah's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2008.
Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2008 and 2013. In 2013, Deborah's wage has risen to $54.00 per hour. The price of a magazine is $18.00 and the price of a donut is $6.00.
In 2013, the relative price of a magazine is:________
Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value of Maria's wage _______________and the real value of her wage ____________________-
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply ___________________ nominal variables and _____________real variables.
Answer:
Nominal variable - Price of a donut is $3.00 in 2008
Real variable- Price of a magazine is 3 donuts in 2008.
Explanation:
In 2008 the price of a magazine was $9.00. While the price of a donut was $3.00. Deborah's income was $27.00 per hour.
Nominal variable's are those which are expressed in terms of money. While, real variables are those variables which are expressed in terms of other goods or services.
The nominal variables will include:
a. The price of a donut is $3.00 in 2008.
The other two options are not nominal variables as they are expressed in terms of the other variable.
The following variables give us the real value of a variable:
b. The price of a magazine is 3 donuts in 2008.
Deborah's wage and price of a magazine are both nominal variables. They are not expressed in terms of any other variable.
In 2013, Deborah's wage is $54.00. The price of a magazine is $18.00 and price of a donut is $6.00.
Relative price is the price price of a good expressed in terms of the other good. The price of magazine in 2013 is $18.00. While, price of donut is $6.00.
[tex]Relative price = \frac{Price of a magazine}{Price of a donut} \\ = \frac{18}{6}\\ = 3[/tex]
Thus, in 2013, the relative price of a magazine is 3 donuts.
As can be seen that from 2008 - 2013, the wage doubles. But at the same time the price of both magazine and donuts also doubles. This can be seen from the relative purchasing power of income. So, between 2008-2013 the nominal value of wage increased and the real value of her wage remained the same.
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply affects nominal variables and does not affect real variables.
Crane Company offered detachable 5-year warrants to buy one share of common stock (par value $5) at $20 (at a time when the stock was selling for $30). The price paid for 700, $1,000 bonds with the warrants attached was $810000. The market price of the Crane bonds without the warrants was $710000, and the market price of the warrants without the bonds was $71800. What amount should be allocated to the warrants
Answer:
$ 74,389.87
Explanation:
It is given that :
The cost of 700, $1000 bonds with warrant attached to the bond = $810,000
The cost of Crane bonds with warrant = $710,000
The cost of market price of the warrants without bonds = $71,800
Therefore, the amount should be allocated to the warrants :
[tex]$=\frac{\$71,800}{\$71,800+\$710,000}\times \$ 810,000$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{\$71,800}{\$781,800}\times \$ 810,000$[/tex]
= $ 74,389.87

What macroeconomic goal is Real GDP used to measure for?
Answer:
"Economic growth " would be the correct answer.
Explanation:
Throughout a particular year, real GDP tests the overall production as well as commodities of the economy, including light of the price adjustments.People should measure or equate GDP throughout the year as inflation would be factored into the equation which would be a fair predictor about wherever the market cycle goes.Thus the above is the right answer.
