A regional airline owns 10 aircraft and employs 20 pilots. The airline makes an average of three trips per day with each of its

10 aircraft. The aircraft and their ground crews are idle part of the day. Minimum rest requirements for its pilots mean that if the airline wants to increase its flights, it must hire more pilots. The decision to hire more pilots is:

Answer:

a short-run decision because the number of aircraft is held constant while the labor input is changed.

Explanation:

In the short run, at least one variable or factor of production is fixed and cannot be changed. In the long run, all factors of production can be changed.

In this case, the number of aircraft is the fixed factor of production (capital) while labor is variable because more pilots can be hired. Regulation state that pilots must rest a certain amount of time in between flights, so if you want to increase the amount of flights you need to hire more pilots and cabin crews since regulations do not require planes to rest.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Task a:

The answer is $24,500.

Task b:

The answer is 17%

Explanation:

<h2>Task a:</h2><h3>What is the maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the LOWEST  component cost of EQUITY?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>

We already know the following:

Projected net income = $21,000

Payout ratio = 30%

Retention ratio = 70%

Debt share = 40%

Equity share = 60%

Maximum amount of capital to be raised at the lowest component cost of equity = Projected net income ×\frac{Retention ratio}{Equity share}

= $21,000 × \frac{0.70}{0.60}

= $24,500

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the lowest component of equity is $24,500.

<h2>Task b:</h2><h3>What is the component cost of equity by selling new common stock?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>

k(e) (component cost of external equity) = [Dividend (D0)(1 + growth) / stock price(1 - flotation cost)] + growth

Formula:

k(e) = \frac{Do(1+g)}{P(1-0.20)} + 0.05

Where

Do = $2.00

G = 0.05

P = $21/88

= ($2.00(1 + 0.05) / $21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05

= ($2.10/$21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05

= ($2.10/$21.88(0.80) + 0.05

= 0.17 or 17%

<h3>Answer: </h3>

The component cost of equity by selling new common stock = 17%

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Bubba’s annual total revenue is c. $20,000

Explanation:

Revenue is the total amount that comes from sales, regardless of cost.

Bubba catches 4,000 pounds and sell them for $5 per pound, so the total amount (revenue) he receives from selling them is 4,000 * 5 = $20,000

Note: The information about the $3 cost is not necessary to calculate revenue

A business consultant earns a flat fee for his work as well as an hourly fee. He charges his clients at a rate of $75 per hour.
Delicious77 [7]
Well...if he earns $75 an hour....and he worked for 20 hours...that's
75 * 20 which = 1500
Now it says he also earns a flat fee....since the question states he billed the client 1800...and he only earned 1500 of it...that must mean that his flat fee would be
1800 - 1500 = 300
So his flat fee is 300...and his variable charge...is 75x (75 dollars per hour)
in an equation...this would look like
C(x) = 75x + 300

Kisachek [45]

<u>Calculation of Return on Equity:</u>


Return on Equity can be calculated using the following formula:


Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity


We can calculate net income using the following formula:

Net Income = Sales * Profit Margin = 3650*5% = $182.50


And we can calculate Equity using the following formula:

Equity = Total Assets * (1-Total Debt ratio) = 3350*(1-41%) = $1976.50


Now Finally,

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity = 182.50 / 1976.50 = 9.23%



Hence the return on equity is <u>9.23%</u>
