Answer:
The answer is: remain the same
Explanation:
The marginal utility of a good or service is how much better we feel when consuming an extra unit of that good or service. For example if we are very thirsty, the marginal utility of consuming a can of Coke is very large, but once our thirst is quenched, an extra can of Coke will not provide use with that much satisfaction as before.
If the price of a substitute good increases, the marginal utility of the good whose price didn't change, will remain the same.
Let's go back to the Coke example. An extra can of Coke will give me 5 more satisfaction units (I'm assuming I can measure satisfaction) and an extra slice of pizza will give me 7 more units of satisfaction. If the price of Coke increases from 50 cents to $1, its marginal utility will decrease. I will buy more pizza because the satisfaction I get from drinking Coke is now smaller.
Answer:
b. 2,100
Explanation:
On January will be collected: a) 10% January´s sales because is collected in cash; b) 40% December´s sales because is collected one month following the sale, and 50% November sales because the balance is collected two months following the sale.
So we can calcula like follows:
Expected cash receipts in January = (4,000 * 0.10) + (3,000 * 0.40) + (1,000 * 0.50)
Expected cash receipts in January = 400 + 1,200 + 500
Expected cash receipts in January = 2,100
(A) Debt ratio = 0.32
Debt/(debt + equity)= 0.32
Debt = 0.32 *Debt + 0.32 *Equity
0.68* Debt = 0.32* Equity
Debt = 0.32*Equity/0.68 = 0.32/0.68 * Equity
Debt /equity ratio = (0.32/068*Equity)/Equity
Debt/Equity ratio = 0.32/0.68 = 0.47
Debt-equity ratio = 0.47 (Rounded to 2 decimals)
(B) Equity multiplier = 1 + debt -equity = 1+0.47 = 1.47
Equity multiplier = 1.47 (Rounded to 2 decimals)
Answer:
Unrelated Diversification
Explanation:
The reason is that the company has entered in a number of product offering that are unrelated to each other. This means the company has subtantially reduced its industry risk by managing a portfolio of products that are different from each other from industry perspective. This is an example of unrelated diversification because comics are unrelated to sports figures, music videos and motion pictures.
Answer:
C. $17.25 million
Explanation:
In case of an acquisition, the assets are valued at their fair value and we will also include all unrecorded liabilities. Goodwill will be the excess payment over the net assets of the company. Excess fair value of land means that assets would increase by that amount to arrive at their fair value. Also, We have to include unrecorded liabilities in the total liabilities
Net Assets = Fair value of assets - Total liabilities
Or, Net Assets = (Book value of assets + Excess Fair value of land) - (Book value of liabilities + unrecorded liabilities)
Or, Net Assets = ($261 million + $3 million) - ($172.50 million + $6.75 million) = $84.75 million
Amount paid to acquire = $102 million
Goodwill = $102 million - $84.75 million = $17.25 million
