Answer:
No, it is not a violation of the <em>law of demand</em>, hence why it is a "law."
Explanation:
During summer months, the demand for beach resorts increases. This is <u>different</u> from an increase in <em>quantity</em> demanded. The curve is shifting instead, towards the right, while the supply is stable. Since the demand curve shifts right, the price will increase to restore market equilibrium.
It is best to draw a graph for these questions, and know your demand determinants.
Answer:
0.0075 rugs per dollar
Explanation:
(b)
Total labor cost:
= 520 hours × $15 per hour
= $7,800
Total solvent cost:
= 100 gallons × $5 per gallon
= $500
Total machine rental cost:
= 22 days × $75 per day
= $1,650
Multi-factor productivity:
= Number of rugs ÷ (Total labor cost + Total solvent cost + Total machine rental cost)
= 75 ÷ ($7,800 + $500 + $1,650)
= 75 ÷ $9,950
= 0.0075 rugs per dollar
Answer:
FV= $159,840.60
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $1,000
Number of years= 2016 - 1912= 104
Interest rate= 5%
<u>To calculate the value of the investment today, we need to use the following formula:</u>
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 1,000*(1.05^104)
FV= $159,840.60
Answer:
It is capital deepening (D)
Explanation:
Capital deepening typically represents an increase in the capital-labor ratio. This arises when there is infusion of additional capital(e.g technological improvement) into the production processes while work force is either kept constant or cut-down and thereby makes labor to be more productive.
Hence, as the capital-labor ratio increases, the marginal product of labor, i.e. the amount of product that can be produced by supplying one more unit of labor, increases because there are now more units of capital per worker.
Answer:
D) Dividend payout ratio
Explanation:
Internal Growth Rate of a firm is the maximum growth rate at which the firm can grow without involving external financing i.e. without assuming additional debt or equity infusion in the firm. At this level of growth the cash available from the operations can be used to fund the company.
It is calculated using the formula
IGR= ROA* b / (1-ROA * b)
where
IGR is the Internal Growth Rate
ROA is return on assets
b is the retention ratio or (1-dividend payout ratio)
To answer the question we look at each option
If ROA (Return on Asset) is decreased the numerator decreases and denominator increases in equation (1) and thus the Internal growth rate decreases, so ROA is not the answer
If Net Income is reduced the Return on Assets also falls thus as in the above case Internal growth Rate decreases
If retention ratio is reduced the numerator decreases and denominator increase leading to a fall in IGR
If dividend payout ratio is decreased the retention ratio increases leading to the increase in numerator and decrease in denomonator leading to an increase in the IGR. Thus Decreasing the dividend payout ratio will increase the IGR.
If Return on Equity is reduced i.e. indirectly Net Income is reduced for the same equity the similar effect as in part for Net Income and thus reduces the IGR.
So decreasing dividend payout ratio increases the interna growth rate of a firm
