Answer:
a. Decrease
b. Decline
c. Exit
d. No change
Explanation:
The market for gourmet chocolate is in the long-run equilibrium, and an economic downturn has caused the consumer disposable income to fall. Chocolate is a normal good, and the chocolate producers have identical cost structures.
a. This decline in the consumer income will reduce the purchasing power of the consumers. As a result, the demand will decrease. The demand curve will move to the left.
b. This leftward shift in the demand curve will cause the price to decline, As the price falls, the profits earned by the producers will decline as well.
c. In the long run, the firms operate at zero economic profits. So a decline in profits imply that the firms are operating at an economic loss. This will cause the loss incurring firms to exit the market.
d. The long run supply curve will remain the same. It is not affected by change in profits, it changes only with change in the state of technology or availability of resources.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Ratio Scale
Explanation:
A ration scale of measurement is one that has equal units of measurement, and has an absolute value of zero. Measurements below the zero point on the scale is not possible. for example in the measurement of height in meters, the lowest measurement possible is 0 meter, a measurement of - 1 meter will make no mathematical sense. In this example, if a score of 60 is said to have twice as much attributes than a score of 30, it means that this attributes are measured from a reference zero point, because truly, 60 is twice as much as 30, from a zero point on a scale.
The other scales of measurements include;
nominal scale of measurement; which contains mainly categorical data and is mainly used in form of tags rather than showing magnitude or intervals. Example is grouping a group of adults into married, divorced or single.
Ordinal scale; this scale shows hierarchical series or ordered series, but does not show intervals between the elements. example is in classifying the positions of participants in a race as first, second or third etc. There is an ordering, as the first position is on top of the list, but it will now make sense to say the distance between the attribute of first to third position is the same as the distance between the attributes between third and fifth position, as there is no scale.
Interval scale; this scale of measurement does not have a limit zero value which represents the least possible point on a scale, but the intervals between different units on the scale can be compared logically. Example is the measurement of temperature using the Fahrenheit scale, where the temperature can go as low as - 20°F, below the zero point, and a distance of 3°F to 5°F can be said to be equal to a distance of 10°F to 12°F.
B would be the correct answer i believe
Answer:
Leverage buyout
Explanation:
Leverage buyout refers to the acquisition of another company using debt as the main source of financing the deal. The acquiring company borrows from various sources and will often use the assets of the acquired company as collateral. In leverage buyout, the acquiring entity borrows up to 80 percent or more and finances the balance with its equity.
The use of debt enhances the rate of return of the acquiring firm. Greystone Group is using 5 million of its funds and borrowing 20 million. The debts represent 80 percent of the cost of acquisition. The acquiring entity can achieve a higher rate of return by using as little of its funds as possible.
Answer: $112000
Explanation:
First, we calculate the book value in year 7 which will be:
= Depreciation × Balance life
= $400,000 × 3/10
= $120,000
Then, the cash flow as a result of the transaction will be:
= Asset sale - (Asset - Book value) × Tax rate
= 110000 - [(110000 - 120000) × 20%]
= 110000 - (-2000)
= 110000 + 2000
= 112000
