A market that has a single supplier of a product with no close substitutes and barriers to entry is:________
a. an oligopoly.
b. monopolistically competitive.
c. a pure monopoly.
Answer:
c. a pure monopoly.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes. Any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market is generally referred to as a monopolist.
For example, a public power company is an example of a monopoly because they serve as the only source of power utility provider to the general public in a society.
Additionally, a public power company refers to a company that provides power (electricity) utility to the general public of a society.
Hence, a market that has a single supplier of a product with no close substitutes and barriers to entry is a pure monopoly.

Jarvis is a coffee farmer who wants to hedge his entire coffee crop that will be harvested by September. The December coffee contract (which consists of 37,500 pounds of coffee) is trading at $2.00 per pound, which the farmer views as a profitable price. To hedge the entire crop, which is expected to weigh 150,000 pounds, at the best price, Jarvis should:
Answer: Sell four December coffee future contracts at $2.00 per pound
Explanation:
Based on the scenario in the question, the number of contracts that is required for hedging the entire crop will be gotten by dividing the total number of crops by the pounds that are available in one contract. This will be:
= 150,000/37,500
= 4 contracts
Therefore, the answer will be for Jarvis to sell four December coffee future contracts at $2.00 per pound
McDonalds reported current year pretax book income of $365,000. Included in the computation were favorable temporary differences of $13,750, unfavorable temporary differences of $97,000, and unfavorable permanent differences of $45,000. McDonalds' current income tax expense or benefit would be
Answer:
the current income tax expense or benefit is $103,583
Explanation:
The computation of the current income tax expense or benefit is shown below:
Current income tax expense is
= (pre - tax book income - favourable temporary difference + unfavorable temporary difference + unfavourable permanent difference) × tax rate
= ($365,000 - $13,750 + $97,000 + $45,000) × 21%
= $493,250 × 21%
= $103,583
We assumed the tax rate be 21%
hence, the current income tax expense or benefit is $103,583
Rappaport Industries has 6,250 perpetual bonds outstanding with a face value of $1,400 each. The bonds have a coupon rate of 6.6 percent and a yield to maturity of 6.9 percent. The tax rate is 40 percent. What is the present value of the interest tax shield?
Answer:
3,500,000
Explanation
The present value of the interest tax shield can be calculated by first calculating the coupon payment and tax shield on that coupon payment. After calculating the tax shield we can easily calculate the present value of the tax shield
DATA
Number of bonds = 6250
Coupon rate = 6.6%
Face value = $1,400
Tax rate = 40%
Solution
Coupon Payment = No of Bonds x Face value x Coupon Rate
Coupon Payment = (6250 x 1400 x 6.6%)
Coupon Payment = $577,500
Tax Shield = $577,500 x 40%
Tax Shield = $231,000
Present value = Tax shield/Coupon Rate
Present value = (231,000 /0.066)
Present value = $3,500,000
Bigelow has a levered cost of equity of 14.29% and a pretax cost of debt of 7.23%. The required return on the assets is 11%. What is the firm's debt-equity ratio based on MM Proposition II with no taxes?
Answer:
0.873
Explanation:
Given that
Cost of equity, RS = 14.29% = 0.1429
Required return on assets = 11% = 0.11
Cost of debt = 7.23% = 0.0723
Then we can calculate the firm's debt equity ratio by using the relation
0.1429 = 0.11 + B/S(0.11 - 0.0723)
0.1429 = 0.11 + B/S(0.0377)
B/S(0.0377) = 0.1429 - 0.11
B/S(0.0377) = 0.0329
B/S = 0.0329 / 0.0377
B/S = 0.873
Therefore, the debt equity ratio is 0.873
