Answer: the firm will have a temporary competitive advantage
Explanation: The firm in question would have a temporary competitive advantage. Competitive advantage describes something that places a company or business or a person above the competition such as value, rarity, difficult/costly-to-imitate amongst others. However, where a substitute is already in existence for such service, then the firm would have a temporary competitive advantage.

As an individual, I am not close to my ideal time allocations as such allocation got affected by many factors that are beyond the control of an individual. One has to depend on the external environment which is composed of other individuals receding near you.
The sleeping schedule, health both mental and physical affects the time allocation significantly. Due to distress and overload panics one serves more time in sleeping than adequate.
Answer:
7.49%
Explanation:
n = Number of payment periods = 3
P = Total lease payment = Annual lease payment * Number of period = $20,700 * 3 = $62,100
FV = fair value of the machine = $50,000
Implicit rate = [($62,100 / $50,000)^(1 / 3)] - 1 = 0.0749, or 7.49%
This is a key idea with international trade. This involves what is known as comparative advantage.
let's say country A can produce a ton of soybeans in 4 hours and a ton of corn in 2 hours. While country B can produce a ton of soybeans in 15 hours and a ton of corn in 5 hours.
Looking at this set up you can see that country A can produce both corn and soybeans faster, so they have an absolute advantage in both!
However what trade is based on is opportunity cost. So if we think about how much corn country A has to give up to produce soybeans, they have to divert a total of 4 hours from corn to soy beans to produce one ton of soy beans. That 4 hours could be used to produce 2 tons of corn (since 2 hours for 1 ton and we're taking away 4 hours!). So opportunity cost of soybeans in country A is 2 corn.
In country B they would need a total of 15 hours to produce one extra ton of soybeans, but those 15 hours could instead be used to produce 3 tons of corn (5 hours per ton and we're stealing 15 total hours). That means country B's opportunity cost is 3 corn.
Since A has a lower opportunity cost in produce soybeans they will specialize and B will specialize in corn.
Answer:
$1,269.46
Explanation:
Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) refers to the net income which is a difference between the revenue of an organisation and the expenses that were incurred in order to generate that revenue. The calculation of the EBIT is usually for a particular year and it is usually found in the Income Statement part of an organisation's financial statement.
To calculate the EBIT therefore, the Tax as well as interest must be added back to the Net Income after tax (usually added to retained earnings)
Therefore, Net Income = Dividends paid + Net Income (added to retained earnings)
= $75 + $418 = $493 - This represents a partial net income
The next step is to calculate the taxable income as follows:
The net income is $493, and the Tax rate is 35%
Taxable Income = $493/ (1-0.35) = $758.46
Earnings before interest and tax therefore =
Interest paid + Taxable Income
= $511 + $758.46 = $1,269.46
