The cost of using utilities such as water, heating, electricity, waste disposal, and sewage is known as utility expense. Expenses are incurred throughout the reporting period, computed and accumulated for, or payment is made.

Option A is the correct answer, the average power bill in Orlando is $138. 66, which is $17. 21 higher than the national average.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

44.9&#10;&#10; % \text{of} 270.48 = 0.449(270.48) = 121.45.&#10;

44.9 % \text{ of } 308.83 = 0.449(308.83) = 138.66.&#10;&#10;&#10;

<h3>The cost of the Orlando bill:</h3>

138.66-121.45 = 17.21 higher than the national average.

So, the average Orlando eclectic bill is $138.66. This is $17.21 greater than the average electric bill in the United States.

Toy Town is considering a new toy that will cost $49,100 in startup costs. The toy is expected to produce cash flows of $47,500
Tasya [4]

Answer:

NPV with a 14.9% discount rate: 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

IRR = 26.65%

Explanation:

First we calculate for the NPV using the given discount rate of 14.9%

We will calculate the present value of each year cash inflow:

\frac{inflow}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Year 1 cash inflow: 47,500.00

time   1.00

rate  0.149

\frac{47500}{(1 + 0.149)^{1} } = PV  

PV   41,340.30

Year 2 cash inflow:  18,600.00

time   2.00

rate  0.149

\frac{18600}{(1 + 0.149)^{2} } = PV  

PV   14,088.76

Then, we add them and subtract the investment to get NPV

NPV = 14,088.76 + 41,340.3 - 49,100 = 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

Now for the IRR

That is the rate at which NPV equals zero we can solve for this using the quadratic equation as there are only two cash flow:

Year 1 will discount at (1+IRR)

Year 2 will be discount at (1+IRR )^2

So we can express and recreate the quadratic formula:

18,600 X^2 + 47,500 X - 49,500 = 0

A = 18,600

B = 47,500

C = -49,100

x_1 = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}\\x_2 = \frac{-b -\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}

We can solve and get:

x1 =  0.78957

x2 = -3.3433

We take the positive value.

and now solve for IRR

\frac{1}{1+ IRR} = 0.78957\\IRR = \frac{1}{0.78957} -1

IRR = 0,2665121 = 26.65%

This will be the IRR for the project.

When a competitive firm finds that the market price is below its minimum average variable cost level, it will sell:
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

In the perfect co petition firm is a price taker. Firms do not decide price. Price is determined by demand and supply intersection. Firms face a horizontal demand curve. They can only adjust the quantity they supply.

In a perfect competition, if the price is not able to cover the average variable cost, it means that the firm will be incurring losses. The firm will thus shutdown and stop production.

Bedeker, Inc., has an issue of preferred stock outstanding that pays a $6.55 dividend every year in perpetuity. If this issue cu
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The required rate of return is 7.20%

Explanation:

The price of a share that pays a particular dividend amount in perpetuity is given by the below formula:

price of share=dividend/required rate of return

price of share is $91.00 per share

dividend payable in perpetuity is $6.55

required rate of return is unknown

$91=$6.55/required rate of return

required rate of return =$6.55/$91

                                       =7.20%

to confirm the required of return,I divided the by the required rate of return as shown below:

6.55/0.0.72=$90.97 .approximately $91

That is a way to validate the computed required rate of return

netineya [11]

Answer: $35,000

Explanation:

Implicit rental price = Interest payment + Depreciation

Interest payment = 5% * 500,000

= $25,000
