Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

For 1 pound of ribeye steak,

Alex is willing to pay = $10

Bella is willing to pay = $8

Consumer surplus refers to the benefit that is obtained by the consumer. It is the difference between consumer's willingness to pay for the good and the actual amount paid for the product.

When the price of ribeye steak increases from $9 to $11,

Consumer surplus at price = $9,

For Alex = Willingness to pay - Actual Amount paid for the product

              = $10 - $9

              = $1

For Bella = $8 - $9

               = -$1

Consumer surplus at price = $11,

For Alex = Willingness to pay - Actual Amount paid for the product

              = $10 - $11

              = -$1

For Bella = $8 - $11

               = -$3

Therefore, we can conclude that the consumer surplus of both Bella and Alex decreases, due to an increase in the price of the product.

Bess [88]

Explanation:

In this case, it is incorrect to wait until payment to record the expense, as organizational accounting is essential in an organization so that there is a record and control of organizational financial transactions so that companies can obtain information about the business and take reasoned decisions based on the current reality of the company.

Therefore, all income and expenses for the period must be recorded in accounting so that there is real information about an organization's movements in a period.

Explanation:

Year Straight-Line Declining Balance Difference  (000s)

2018       $400          $853                     $453  

2019        400             569                        169  

2020        400             379                        (21)  

               $1,200        $1,801                    $601

Asset cost =$2,720,000

Accumulated depreciation till 2020= $1,801,000

Book value beginning of 2021=$919,000

Residual value=                         -$200,000

Depreciable value=                    $719,000

Remaining estimated life= 6-3years=3

Annual straight line depreciation=    $719,000 /3 = $239,667

Bonds of Zello Corporation with a par value of $1,000 sell for $960, mature in five years, and have a 7% annual coupon rate paid
AURORKA [14]

Answer and Step by Step Explanation:

a i)Current yield = Coupon/Price = $70/$960 = 0.0729 = 7.29%

ii. Yield to maturity (to the nearest whole percent, i.e., 3%, 4%, 5%, etc.)

YTM = 3.993% semiannually or 7.986% annual bond equivalent yield.On a financial calculator, enter: n = 10; PV = –960; FV = 1000; PMT = 35

iii.

Realized compound yield is 4.166% (semiannually), or 8.332% annual bond equivalent yield.

Therefore to get this value, we would find the future value (FV) of reinvested coupons and principal in which there will be six payments of$35 each, reinvested semiannually at 3% per period.

PV = 0; PMT = 35; n = 6; i = 3%. Compute: FV = 226.39

Three years from now, the bond will be selling at the par value of $1,000 because the yield to maturity is forecast to equal the coupon rate. The total proceeds in three years will be: $226.39 + $1,000 =$1,226.39

The rate (yrealized) that makes the FV of the purchase price equal to $1,226.39: $960 * (1 + yrealized)6= $1,226.39

yrealized= 4.166% (semiannual)

b . i. Current yield. Current yield can be defined as the way capital gains or losses on bonds bought at prices , reinvestment income on coupon payments are not account for other than par value.

ii. Yield to maturity can be seen as the bond which is held until maturity and that all coupon income can be reinvested at a rate equal to the yield to maturity

iii. Realized compound yield are yield that is affected by the forecast of reinvestment rates, holding period, and yield of the bond at the end of the investor's holding period

Assume that a six-firm cartel supplies 500 million units of Whatailsya energy drink at a price of $5.00 per unit. Each firm supp
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

<u>The net gain for the firm cheating the cartel is US$ 183 million (rounding the answer to the nearest million).</u>

Explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for solving this case:

Number of firms that supply  Whatailsya energy drink = 6

Amount of production of the cartel of six firms = 500 million units

Price of the energy drink = US$ 5

Amount of production of the firm that decided to break the cartel = 50 million extra units

Price after the extra production is sold = US$ 4.50

2. Let's find the individual production of each firm before and after the 50 million extra units and the net gains for the cheating firm.

Individual production of each firm of the cartel = Amount of production of the cartel/Number of firms

Individual production of each firm of the cartel = 500 million units/6

Individual production of each firm of the cartel = 83.33 million units

Individual sales of each firm before the 50 million extra units = Individual production * Price of the energy drink

Individual sales of each firm before the 50 million extra units = 83.333 million * 5

Individual sales revenue of each firm before the 50 million extra units = US$ 416.666 million

New production amount of the firm cheating the cartel = 83.333 + 50

New production amount of the firm cheating the cartel = 133.333 million units

Price of the energy drink after the extra production is sold = US$ 4.50

New sales revenue of the firm cheating the cartel = New production amount * Price of the energy drink after the extra production is sold

New sales revenue of the firm cheating the cartel = 133.333 million * 4.50

New sales revenue of the firm cheating the cartel = US$ 600 million

Net gain of the firm cheating the cartel = New sales revenue of the firm cheating the cartel - Individual sales of each firm before the 50 million extra units

Net gain of the firm cheating the cartel = 600 million - 416.666 million

Net gain of the firm cheating the cartel = 183.333 million

<u>Net gain of the firm cheating the cartel = US$ 183 million (rounding the answer to the nearest million)</u>
