Answer:

The correct answer is option (b).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Sales = $2,240,000

Contribution margin ratio = 50%

Fixed expenses = $1,008,000

So, First we calculate the contribution margin by using following formula:

Contribution margin = Contribution margin ratio × Sales

= 50% × $2,240,000

= $1,120,000

So, we can calculate the margin for this investment by using following formula:

Margin = Net operating income ÷ Sales

Where, Net operating income = Contribution margin - Fixed expenses

= $1,120,000 - $1,008,000

= $112,000

Now by putting the value in the formula, we get

Margin = $112,000 ÷ $2,240,000

= 0.05

= 5%

Hence, the margin for this investment opportunity is 5%.

Komok [63]

Answer:

The WACC is 8.66%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost to firm of its capital structure which can have 3 components namely debt, preferred stock and common stock. We take the weighted average of these components and their respective costs to calculate WACC. Furthermore, we take the after tax cost of debt for WACC calculation and that is why we multiply the cost of debt by (1-tax rate).

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE

WACC = 0.33 * 0.065 * (1-0.28) + 0.08 * 0.06 + 0.59 * 0.1125

WACC = 0.086619 or 8.86619% rounded off to 8.66%

Trevor always begins the day with a strawberry milkshake (milk (x1 ) and strawberries(x2) mixed in proportion 1:5). His income i

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Going by the question that the proportion of milk and strawberry for milk shake is 1:5.

If amount of milk is to be X1 that means the quantity of strawberry (X2) will be 5×X1, i.e., X2=5X1... Equation 1

And in addition, the milk and strawberry are complementary consumables as strawberry is of no use without milk and vice versa.

Budget equation will be as follows:

P1×X1+P2×5X1=M.... Equation 2

Given M=200, P1=15 & P2=1

Putting values in Equation 2

15×X1+1×5X1=200

X1=10 & X2=50(from equation 1)

Answer a)

With change in P1 from 15 to 5

Again putting values in Equation 2

5×X1+1×5X1=200

X1=20 & X2=100.

The total change in the demand of milk will increase from 10 units to 20 units.

Answer b)

Strawberry and milk are complementary goods here for that reason there would be no effect on substitution.

Answer c)

Since there will be no effect on substitution, total effect will be equal to income effect.

Jesse and Francis hear some friends talking about how much money they earn using Airbnb to rent out their room on weekends when

Kitty [74]

Answer and explanation:

Rental agreements are legal documents where the landlord or owner of the property establishes to whom, what, when, and for how much a property or part of it will be leased. The landlord becomes responsible for granting conditions that allow the regular and peaceful living of the tenants within the property and the tenant becomes responsible for damages caused to the property and for the payment of rent on a regular basis established in the agreement.

<em>In Jesse and Francis's case, they hear their friends are renting their room on the weekends using an online house rental service. Under the rental agreement that would not be allowable since Jesse and Francis's friends would be leasing a property that does not belong to them. They cannot become landlords being only tenants. The real owner of the room can even evict the tenant for breaching the contract.</em>

Suppose United Bank offers to lend you $10,000 for one year at a nominal annual rate of 8.00%, but you must make interest paymen

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The effective annual rate on loan would be 8.24%

Explanation:

Formula for Effective annual rate ( EAR ) -

(1 + APR / Number of compounding periods in a year) ^ (Number of compounding periods in a year) - 1

where, the APR IS 8% ,

Number of compounding periods - 4 quarters

So now putting these values in the formula -

(1+8% / 4) ^4 - 1

= (1 + 2%) ^4 -1

= (1 + .02)^4 -1

= (1.02)^4 - 1

= 1.08243216 - 1

= .08243216

Now multiplying this by 100 to make it in percentage

= 8.24% ( approximately )
