Answer:

either the selling price decreases or the total output decreases

Explanation:

The firm's income statement:

total sales revenue =            $120,000

minus total variable costs = ($72,000)

<u>minus total fixed costs =       ($15,000)  </u>

net profit =                             $33,000

The long run equilibrium for a monopolistically competitive firm occurs when the firm is making no economic profit since it is charging a price =  average total cost.

In this case the average total cost per unit = $6 per unit + ($15,000 / 12,000 units) = $7.25 per unit

Since the firm is currently charging a higher selling price than average total cost ($10 > $7.25), one or two things might happen in the long run:

  1. selling price will decrease
  2. output will decrease

You have purchased 1 million shares in a restaurant chain venture. At this zero-stage investment, your company’s assets are $110
Drupady [299]

Answer:

(a) 1,370,000 shares

(b) 42.19%

Explanation:

Given that,

Shares in a restaurant chain venture = 1,000,000 shares

Price of each share = $1.00

(a) To raise the additional $1,370,000:

Shares will you need to sell:

= Additional amount ÷ Price of each share

= $1,370,000 ÷ $1.00

= 1,370,000 shares

(b) No. of Shares After investment:

= Shares need to sell + Shares in a restaurant chain venture

= 1,370,000 + 1,000,000

= 2,370,000 shares

Therefore, the fraction of the firm will you own after the VC investment:

= (Shares in a restaurant chain venture ÷ No. of Shares After investment) × 100

= (1,000,000 ÷ 2,370,000) × 100

= 0.4219 × 100

= 42.19%

Alborosie

Answer:

By how much are customers paying early or late?

  • B) 22.38

Explanation:

Days sales outstanding (DSO) represents the average number of many days it takes a business to collect its accounts receivables.

DSO = (accounts receivables / total credit sales) x 365 days

DSO = ($60,000 / $325,000) x 365 days = 67.38 days

customers are paying late by 67.38 days - 45 days = 22.38 days

Disney positions its brand as “a magical world where your dreams come true.” In its brand positioning, what goal does Disney ach
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

By mentioning to be "a magical world where your dreams come true", Disney seeks to position its brand by appealing to the illusion of its youngest consumers, who believe and enjoy that magical world as they consider it to be real. In turn, it also targets a more adult audience, the parents of those children and even young adults who remember their childhood, and seek through Disney to return to that magical world far from the problems of daily life.  Thus, through empathy and the generation of nostalgia, Disney captures a market that is receptive to its products due to the sentimentality they imply.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
<span>Answer: At what unit sales level would WCC have the same EPS, assuming it undertakes the investment and finances it with debt or with stock? {Hint: V = variable cost per unit = $8,160,000/440,000, and EPS = [(PQ - VQ - F - I)(1 - T)]/N. Set EPSStock = EPSDebt and solve for Q.} Round your answer to the nearest whole. units At what unit sales level would EPS = 0 under the three production/financing setups - that is, under the old plan, the new plan with debt financing, and the new plan with stock financing? (Hint: Note that VOld = $10,200,000/440,000, and use the hints for Part b, setting the EPS equation equal to zero.) Round your answers to the nearest whole. Old plan units New plan with debt financing units New plan with stock financing units On the basis of the analysis in parts a through c, and given that operating leverage is lower under the new setup, which plan is the riskiest, which has the highest expected EPS, and which would you recommend? Assume here that there is a fairly high probability of sales falling as low as 250,000 units, and determine EPSDebt and EPSStock at that sales level to help assess the riskiness of the two financing plans. Round your answers to two decimal places. EPSDebt = $ EPSStock = $</span>
