Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual contribution margin of $80,000 and $160,000 in annual fixed
costs.
Of the fixed costs, $50,000 cannot be avoided.
<u>To calculate the financial impact on income, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Effect on income= avoidable fixed costs - contribution margin
Effect on income= 50,000 - 80,000
Effect on income= -$30,000
The step in retirement planning that Janice is completing is "Developing a balanced budget based on her retirement income"
She is making a checklist of her expenses and income and what is the excess income she can keep for her interests. So, she is actually involved in making a budget for her retirement based on her income and anticipated expenses
Answer:
Present Value= $19,652.37
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You are the financial manager for a recreation center that has signed an option to purchase new elliptical machines for $22,500 in two years. If you have an investment opportunity that guarantees 7% interest.
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 22,500/ (1.07^2)= $19,652.37
Answer:
15 million years
Explanation:
Antarctica is the continent that is spread around the South Pole, known for being covered with ice, and being the coldest place on the planet. The glaciation of the continent started around 34 million years, started to speed up since 23 million years ago, and became dominant on this continent only around 15 million years ago. Antarctica has not always been covered in ice, and in fact, through the majority of its geologic history Antarctica has been covered with dense forests. This was possible because the continent was much further north, relatively close to the Equator, thus its climate was tropical, subtropical, and temperate. That all started to change as first Pangaea, and then Gondwanaland broke apart, and Antarctica was the piece that was moving toward the South Pole. As Africa, India, Australia, and at last South America drifted apart from Antarctica, the continent was left surrounded by ocean waters where very cold ocean currents occurred because of the continental drift. On top of it the continent got into a place where the sunlight is very weak, thus gradually it started to freeze and had become almost entirely glaciated.
Answer:
a. 1, 5 and 7
b. Resources will be allocated inefficiently
c. Differing sizes and capacities
d. Benefits due to economies of scale
e. Reduce prices and improve resource allocation.
Explanation:
The correct combination is 1, 5 and 7. The price of a pure monopoly firm is much higher than that of purely competitive firm because the later is a price taker while the former is a price fixer. Because of this, output of monopoly is lower while the profit margin is higher than that of competitive firm.
Assuming that a pure monopolist and a purely competitive firm have the same unit costs. In the case of a pure monopolist, resources will be allocated inefficiently because the monopolist does not produce at the point of minimum Average Total Cost and does not equate price and Marginal cost.
Even though both monopolists and competitive firms follow the MC = MR rule in maximizing profits, there are differences in the economic outcomes because pure competitors lack capacity and are smaller in size while the monopolist has the capacity to expand inorder to maximize profits.
The costs of a purely competitive firm and a monopoly may be different because the monopolist is capable of taking advantage of cost reduction arising from economics of scale. Pure competitors does not experience economies of scale due to their small sizes.
If a monopoly can experience economies of scale, it can reduce prices beyond that of the pure competitor thereby ensuring a more efficient resource allocation.
