Answer:

Assuming that the price elasticy of demand of gizmos is -1.0 (the questions says that the value is "1.0 disregarding the negative sign"), we can see that gizmos is a perfectly inelastic good.

The demand of perfectly inelastic goods do not respond to changes in price. If sellers of gizmos increase their prices, revenue will stay the same because people will continue to buy gizmos no matter how expensive they become.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: a. $5.50

b. $6.1

c. $3,500,000

Explanation:

a. From the question, we are informed that Hawar International is a shipping firm with a current share price of $5.50 and 10 million shares outstanding and that Hawar announces plans to lower its corporate taxes by borrowing $20 million and repurchasing shares.

We are informed that Hawar announces plans to lower its corporate taxes by borrowing $20 million and repurchasing shares. This is a transaction and therefore, the value if the share won't be changed. So, the value for the share will still be $5.50.

b. If the only imperfection is corporate tax rate of 30%, the share price after this announcement will be:

= [30% × (20million/10million)] + $5.50

= [0.3 × 2] + $5.50

= $0.6 + $5.50

= $6.1

Therefore, the share price be after this announcement will be $6.1.

c. If the share price rises to $5.75 after this announcement, the PV of financial distress costs Hawar will incur as the result of this new debt will be:

= ($6.1 - $5.75) × 10,000,000

= $0.35 × 10,000,000

= $3,500,000

Dawn Corp. uses a standard cost system. During the year, both the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance were unf
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer (Increases - Increases)

Explanation:

If Dawn had allocated the variances to work in progress rather than on cost of goods sold. Current ratio would increases and the net income would increase also. This is because writing off the variances to cost of goods sold would automatically result into a lower operating income than if it was either prorated to work in progress, finished goods, and cost of goods sold.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C and D.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive firm has a large number of buyers and sellers. These sellers produce homogenous products. There is no restriction on entry and exit in the market. The firms are price takers.  

The market for electricity is not a competitive market because there are few sellers in the market and there is difficulty in entry and exit because of the high cost involved.
