Answer:
equation will be 2x+5
Explanation:
We have given the cost of shipping box = $5
Flat packing fee = $5
As given, the cost of shipping a box is based on its weight in pounds so it is variable
And a flat rate of $5 for packing. This means $5 is common for each parcel that will be sent. Only the weight will vary.
So the equation will be 2x+5
Answer:
b. Enterprise fund and depreciation on the capital assets should be recorded.
Explanation:
Cash flow can be defined as the net amount of cash and cash- equivalents that is flowing into (received) and out (given) of a business. There are three components of the cash flow;
1. Operating cash flow: all cash generated from the business activities of an organization.
2. Financing cash flow: all payments made by an organization and profits from issuance of debts and equity.
3. Investing cash flow: costs associated with purchasing of capital assets and investments of cash resources in other businesses.
Capital assets used by an enterprise fund should be accounted for in the enterprise fund and depreciation on the capital assets should be recorded.
Additionally, depreciation can be defined as the reduction of cost of a fixed asset systematically until the value of the asset becomes zero.
Answer:
Assume the weight to be invested in Bay Corp is x. That means (1 - x) will be the weight for City Inc. The expression for the expected return will be;
(x * 11.2%) + ( (1 - x) * 14.8%) = 12.4%
0.112x + 0.148 - 0.148x = 0.124
-0.036x = -0.024
x = 0.67
Portfolio beta is;
= 0.67 * 1.2 + ( 1 - 0.67) * 1.8
= 1.398 so beta condition is satisfied.
Amount in Bay Corp.;
= 0.67 * 50,000
= $33,500
Amount in City Inc.;
= 50,000 - 33,500
= $16,500

Explanation:
In the telecom industry, the threat of new entrants is most likely low. Why? - Because:
1. High brand loyalty meaning that the existing customers are unlikely to switch to any competitors be it existing or potential. This will discourage any new entrant.
2. High economies of scale. They are enjoying low cost of inputs with high outputs. New entrants will find it difficult initially to produce at low cost. This will also discourage new entrants.
Also, the presence of strong network effects and proprietary technology among the existing firms will deter new entrants.
