Answer:  Dr. Bostwick was able to provide medical services that did not satisfy his own wants, so he exchanged those services for money that he used to buy things that did. Professor Boudreaux had money but desperately wanted a pediatric gastroenterologist to treat his son.

Explanation:

Trade generates value by transferring goods or services from those who value them less to the people who need them more. The only way people can decide to specialize in the making of a single good or service is because they already know they can trade it for other goods they do need.

In the video 'How the Division of Knowledge Saved My Son's Life', Professor Boudreaux explains that it was thanks to Dr. Bostwick specialization on pediatric gastroenterology that his son´s life was saved.

A company has a retention rate of 50%, sales of $25,000, beginning equity of $50,000 and profit margins of 10%, an asset turnove
Degger [83]

Answer:

Sustainable Growth Rate: 2.5%

Explanation:

Sustainable growth rate is calculated by multiplying return on equity with retention ratio.

Logic behind above is that whatever portion of net profit is retained by the Company, is used in the Company's operations, which earns certain percentage of equity known as return on equity. By multiplying both return on equity with retention ratio, we assume that the practice will continue for foreseeable future and the Company will continue to grow at the calculated growth rate.

Growth rate = Retention ratio * return on equity

Retention ratio = 50%

Return on equity = Net profit available for distribution / Opening equity

Return on Equity = (25,000 * 10%) / 50,000

Return on Equity = 5%

Growth Rate = 5% * 50%

Growth Rate = 2.5%

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

variable cost per unit = 46

fixed cost 188680

Explanation:

The high-low method consist in compare each frame to get the variable and fixed components

5440 high

2040 low

3400 difference

437920 high

281520 low

156400 difference

variable cost =15600/3400

variable cost = 46

the reasoning is that the additional 3400 units generated that cost.

Now:

we múltiple by the units by the production and get total variable

46 * 2040 = 93840 total variable

lastly total cost - total variable = fixed

281520 - 93840 = 188680
