Answer:

The applicable answers are:

A firm's ratio can lead to conflicting conclusions

Inflation can distort balance sheet data

Explanation:

The fact that ratio analysis is conducted using bench-marking techniques implies that a business is compared with a best-in-class company that the business can learn best practices,hence that is on a positive note.

Secondly,the issue around conflicting ratio conclusions is a valid weakness ratio analysis. For example having higher than industry average current ratio is a good indicator of liquidity and could also mean the inventory that accounts for a larger percentage of current assets is slow moving

Inflation is another valid limitation as $1 last year is not necessarily the same this year.

Suppose that when the price of peanut butter falls from $2 to $1 per jar, the quantity of jelly purchased rises from 14 million
yan [13]

Answer:

-0.20

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.

If cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the goods are substitute goods.

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.

If the cross-price elasticity is negative, it means that the goods are complementary goods.

Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together

Cross Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price  

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

change in quantity demanded = 16 million - 14 million = 2 million

Average = (16 million + 14 million) / 2 = 15 million

2 / 15 = 0.133

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = 1 - 2 = - 1

average of price =(2 + 1) / 2 = 1.5

-1/1.5 = -0.67

0.1333 / -0.67

Assume that Jackson is a​ price-taker and the current wholesale market price is $7.30 per can of paint. What is the target total
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Jackson's target total cost of producing and selling 6 million cans of paint of $31,800,000 will enable it to reach stockholders' profit goals of $6 million.

The implication is that it should not allow its total costs (Production and other business expenses) to exceed $37,800,000.

This is because its sales revenue will be equal to $43,800,000 (6,000,000 * $7.30).

As such, Jackson can produce a can of paint for $5.30.  It can also incur an average business expense of $1.00 per can to maintain and reach its $6 million profit target.

Explanation:

Profit is the difference obtained after deducting all costs from the revenue.  There are some profit stages.  The first is the gross profit, which considers the sales revenue and the cost of goods sold.  The next profit stage is the operating profit, which subtracts the business running expenses from the gross profit.  There are also profits before and after interest and taxes.  The after tax profit is also called the net income or net profit.  If it is negative, then it is called the net loss.  It is from the net income that distributions are made to stockholders in the form of dividends while a part is retained in the business to increase its capital stock or stockholders' equity.

Archer, in Chicago, wrote to Ganze in New York City offering to purchase her antique car. When she received the letter, Ganze ma
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

<u>No</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember, </em>in business law, as long as both parties did not sign a contractual document, the purchase is not legal.

In this case, it could be observed that Ganze only "mailed an acceptance" not a signed document between both parties agreeing on the purchase of her antique car.

Also, the fact that she quickly sent a telegram letting  Archer know that she is rejecting the offer, shows that she acted in good fate to withdraw her acceptance on time.

How could the respective roles of these two labour organizations influence actions by other parties to address the concerns rais
Lapatulllka [165]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not include the name of the two labor organizations. There is no further context, reference, text, or article.

However, trying to help you we can comment on the following.

Probably, you are referring to the Ontario Federation of Labor (OFL) and the Ontario Public ServiceEmployees Union (OPSEU).

If that is the case, we say that these two labor organizations have a major role in supporting the employees of Tim Horton's branches, after the response, they have taken in Ontario regarding the increase of the minimum wage in that Canadian province.

The power of these labor organizations created awareness of the employee's situation when different media channels covered the news about the demonstrations. This coverage was nationwide, alerting all Canadians about the situation in some branches of this famous and cherished Canadian fast-food restaurant.

This situation does not only grab the attention of public opinion but from the government and political parties that can get into the discussion, affecting the public image and reputation of Tim Horton.

The five dollar Burger Joint gift card that your friend gave you for your birthday expires today. You can either use the gift ca
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

B) The value of the ingredients that go into the home-cooked meal and the value of a five-dollar dinner at Burger Joint .

Explanation:

Opportunity costs can be defined as the cost for choosing one alternative investment or action over another.

If you choose to use the five dollar gift card, you are going to eat for free, although you might not enjoy that meal as much as your delicious home made dinner.

But if you choose to eat a delicious meal at home, you are going to lose the five dollars of the give card and will have to spend a certain amount of money in making the dinner. Those same ingredients could be used to prepare dinner tomorrow. That is your opportunity cost of eating at home.
