Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": A price war.

Explanation:

A price war is a situation in which competitors undercut prices to offer their products at a lower level than their rivals so they can attract more consumers. Manufacturers find ways to cut their costs so they can stay profitable under these circumstances. If they are unable to do that, the company will end up with losses.

The following data represent the probability distribution of the holding period returns for an investment in Lazy Rapids Kayaks
Brut [27]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>17.5%</u>

Explanation:

The <em>expected return</em> is the weighted average of the expected returns in each scenario by its respective probability.

The <em>distribution of the holding period returns </em>(HPR) under three different scenarios is:

State of the economy    Scenario #(s)     Probability, p(s)    HPR

HPR Boom                         1                            0.336              28.40%

Normal growth                  2                           0.414                7.90%

Recession                          3                           0.25                18.90%

The calculations are:

        E(HPR) = 0.336\times 28.40\%+0.414\times 7.90\%+0.25\times 18.90\%

        E(HPR)=17.5\%

A firm's primary objective is to maximize profits; however, there are always two constraints:
alekssr [168]
Two constraints to maximizing profit are cost of production and consumer demand. 

Consumer demand
is essential for revenue. Competition and budget can affect demand and put constraints to profit maximization. Cost of production can constraint profits maximization too because the higher the cost of raw material, the higher the cost of production will be, which in turn will affect the price of the product. This increase in price can also affect the demand.

The answer is then D.

Answer:

Method   Ending Inventory // COGS

W/A      2,585.75  //  10,549.25

FIFO     2,620     //    10,515

LIFO     2,539    //     10,596

Explanation:

sales: 102 units

Sept. 1 Inventory         12 units $100  $  1,200

Sept. 12 Purchases    45 units $103  $  4,635

Sept. 19 Purchases    50 units $104  $  5,200

<u>Sept. 26 Purchases   20 units $105  $  2, 100</u>

Availalbe for sale      127 units           $ 13, 135

Ending Invenotry     127 - 102 = 25 units

COGS will be calcualte as the difference between the cost of goods and the untis at ending inventory.

<u>Weigthed average:</u>

$13,135 / 127 units = 103,42519685 = 103.43 cost per unit

Ending Inventory: 25 units x $ 103.43 = $ 2.585,75

COGS : 13,135 - 2,585.75 = 10,549,25

<u>FIFO</u>

We sold the first, the last are ending invenotry

20 x 105 = 2,100 september 26th

 5 x 104 =    520 september 19th

Ending      2,620

COGS 13,135  -  2,620 = 10,515

<u>LIFO</u>

We sold the last, the first are ending inventory

12 x 100 = 1,200 September   1st

13 x 103  = 1,339 September 12th

Ending      2,539

COGS  13,135 - 2,620 = 10,596

2. When a ban is imposed on fast food restaurants, the amount loanable funds demanded by the fast food industry reduces, leading to a leftward shift m the demand curve of loanable funds.
