Both the Onus ferry operator in the monopoly market and each of the Yuri ferry operators in the perfectly competitive market wil
Lisa [10]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

Monopoly.

The 2 reasons why the monopoly’s marginal revenue will always be less than its price are;

a) Even though Monopolies have very large influence on the prices of goods and services they offer, for a Monopoly to sell more goods, they generally have to lower their prices. This will lead to a situation where Marginal Revenue, which is the additional revenue made per additional unit sold will be less than Price because additional revenue for a new unit will be less than the last one because prices are dropped .

b) A Monopoly's demand schedule is downward sloping. This means that demand rises as prices drop. As prices drop therefore, more goods will be sold but the marginal revenue will be less because prices had to be dropped to get an additional unit to be sold. That unit therefore will bring in less revenue than the last unit.

Perfectly Competitive Market

In such a market, the seller is a Price Taker. This means that sellers in this market do not sell at a price that they want but rather at a price the market has established to be the Equilibrium. This is because of the high competition in the market. Since they are all selling at the same price, this means that every additional revenue they get is the same as the price the market charges. This means that Price equals Marginal Revenue in this market.

JUJU's dividend next year is expected to be $1.50. It is trading at $45 and is expected to grow at 9 percent per year. What is J
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

3.33%; 9%

Explanation:

Given that,

Expected dividend next year = $1.50

Trading at = $45

Expected growth rate per year = 9 percent

Dividend yield = (Expected dividend next year ÷ Trading amount) × 100

                        = ($1.50 ÷ $45) × 100

                        = 0.0333 × 100

                        = 3.33%

The capital gain of JUJU is same as the expected growth rate i.e 9 percent.

Catherine has been managing her company for a couple of years. She now plans to expand her business by bringing in fresh funding
horsena [70]

Answer:

  • News report on website and social media channels.
  • Quarterly earnings call.
  • Annual General meeting.

Explanation:

As there are no options available, I listed three ways in order of ease of implementation.

Catherine could include the news in a news report or newsletter and post it on the company website and their social media platforms to ensure that as many of their shareholders as possible read it. This is the easiest method mentioned and can be done as soon as possible.

Catherine can also update the shareholders during Quarterly Earnings calls which is a webcast or teleconference where she will update shareholders on the happenings in the company. As this happens quarterly, Catherine may have to wait some time to use it so it is second in ease of use.

Catherine could also wait till the Annual General Meeting of the shareholders to do so but this could take quite a long time.

Pablo Company has budgeted production for next year as follows: Quarter First Second Third Fourth Production in units 60,000 80,
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Budgeted purchases for second quarter is 165000 pounds

Explanation:

The per unit requirement of material A is 2 pounds.

We first need to calculate the closing inventory of Material A at the end of first quarter and at the end of second quarter.

<u />

<u>End of first quarter</u>

The closing inventory for First quarter should be enough to meet 25% production requirement for next quarter. 25% production requirement for second quarter is 40000 pounds.

Production requirement - Second quarter = 80000 * 2 = 160000

25% of 160000 = 40000 pounds

<u />

<u>End of second quarter</u>

The closing inventory for First quarter should be enough to meet 25% production requirement for next quarter. 25% production requirement for second quarter is 45000 pounds.

Production requirement - Second quarter = 90000 * 2 = 180000

25% of 180000 = 45000 pounds

Budgeted Purchase -Second quarter = Closing Inventory in pounds + production in pounds - Opening Inventory in pounds

Purchase requirement - First quarter = 45000 + 160000 - 40000 = 165000 pounds
