Answer:
B. fixed cost per unit increases
Explanation:
As we know that
If the production volume increases, the fixed cost per unit is decreases as it reflect an inverse relationship between the fixed cost per unit and the production volume
Let us take an example
Fixed cost = $20,000
Production volume = 100,000
Decrease in production volume = 80,000
So, the fixed cost per unit in the first case is
= 20,000 ÷ $100,000
= $0.2
And, the fixed cost per unit in the second case is
= 20,000 ÷ $80,000
= $0.25
Therefore, the fixed cost per unit increases
Answer:
(a) Continue to operate.
(b) Shut down
(c) Continue to operate.
Explanation:
(a) It is given that the firm will experiencing a loss of $5000. Therefore, it means that a loss of $5,000 is borne by the producer of the fixed cost. It is a portion of fixed cost but the firm will continue to operate in the short run if it covers all of the variable cost in the short run.
(b) The firms in the long run try to cover all of its variable and fixed cost. If this situation persists then this firm unable to cover its all costs. Therefore, the firm will shut down its operation and go out of the business.
(c) Now, if the firm’s fixed costs are $2,000.
There is a reduction in the fixed cost by $6,000
Previously firm able to cover = $8,000 - $5,000
= $3,000
It means that it cover its fixed cost and hence, the firm will operate in both short run and long run.
Answer: B : Trade deficit
If a land of Mercury had total exports of $150billion and total imports of $234billion, it had a "trade deficit".
Explanation:
Trade deficit can be termed an amount by which a country's costs of imports exceeds cost of exports. It is also known as negative balance of trade. Trade deficit is a term of trade that measures international trade.
Trade deficit is obtained by subtracting a country's export from its imports.
Mathematically :
Trade deficit = imports - exports
Trade deficit occurs when a country foreign debt is greater than what it produce for exports. Also when a country depends on another country for refinering their manufactured goods, such country will experience trade deficit.
It can be controlled by promoting constructions of refineries to process products, productions of raw materials for goods, improving exports and limiting imports.
Answer:
The explanation is given as follows.
Explanation:
<u>Task 1: </u>
<u>The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.</u>
When the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves , both reserves and debt increase by $100 , therefore increase in debt as in any balance sheet , the total value of accounts on the left hand should be equal to the right hand , so when there is increase in reserves , there will be increase in debt.
<u>Task 2:</u>
<u>It specifies a minimum leverage ratio for all banks
</u>
leverage ratio initially = total assets / capital = 1750 / 125 = 14
leverage ratio new value = total assets / capital = 1850 / 125 = 14.8 ( the assets increase by $100 with increase in reserves)
<u>Task 3</u>
<u>Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank.</u>
Capital requirement are there to ensure that bank have enough capital to repay the depositors and debtors and if a bank holds a higher percent of risky assets , capital requirements will be higher so that the bank remains solvent hence option a is right answer.
Answer:
A. $22,000 decrease
Explanation:
The reason behind Granfield Company interested in predicting the increase or decrease in net income when they purchase new machinery by selling an old one is because you have the Cash coming through so that they don't run out of money. As per Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) the other name of Profits is Net Income. The company may not have Cash in the bank but their Net Income may be in millions. So, when Companies like Granfield when usually invests are usually concerned about their investments that weather they will be profitable or not. In this instance of Granfield Company, they predict that by acquiring the new machinery they will save on manufacturing overhead by $19,000 over 4 years which accumulates to $76,000.
Annual Savings = $19,000 x 4 = $76,000
We are told to ignore the time value of money here so if the proceeds from previous machinery are $22,000, then add the proceeds from machinery and annual savings and we get a total of $98,000
Annual Savings $76,000
Add: Proceeds from Sale of Machine $22,000
Total Savings $98,000
To find the increase or decrease in net income or the effect of purchase of new machinery and disposal of old machinery on net income can be calculated as follows;
Total Savings $98,000
Less: Purchase of New Machinery $120,000
Decrease in Net Income $22,000
Hence the Net Income will decrease by $22,000 which means there will be a decrease in retained earnings and stockholders' equity.
Option A is the Correct answer.
