Answer:
14 years
Explanation:
Given:
Leader country GDP = $50,000
Follower country GDP = $25,000
Growth rate of follower country = 5%
It is given that growth rate of leader country is "0" So real GDP will be $50,000.
Follower country GDP is half.
So, according to double match formula
Number of years to double = 70 years / rate of growth
Number of years to double = 70 years / 5%
Number of years to double = 14 year
So, In 14 years follower country will catch the GDP of Leader country.

Answer:
B. monopoly firms but not for competitive firms.
Explanation:
Marginal revenue can become negative for monopoly firms but not for competitive firms.
A monopolist’s marginal revenue is always less than or equal to the price of the good.
Marginal revenue is the amount of revenue the firm receives for each additional unit of output. It is the difference between total revenue – price times quantity – at the new level of output and total revenue at the previous output (one unit less).
Since the monopolist’s marginal cost curve lies below its demand curve. When a monopoly increases amount sold, it has two effects on total revenue:
– the output effect: More output is sold, so Q is higher.
– the price effect: To sell more, the price must decrease, so P is lower.
For a competitive firm there is no price effect. The competitive firm can sell all it wants at the given price.
So the marginal revenue on a monopolist's additional unit sold is lower than the price, <u>because it gets less revenue for selling additional units.</u>
<u>Marginal revenue can become negative – that is, the total revenue decreases from one output level to the next.

Answer:
Bonita’s break-even point in units for 2020 is 812.50 units.
Explanation:
Break-even point in units refers to the number of units of commodity that must sold by a company in order for its cost to be equal to revenue and therefore make no profit but also no loss. This can be determined for Bonita Industries as follows:
Selling price in 2020 = Selling price in 2019 * (100% - Percentage cut in selling price) = $1,000 * (100% - 40%) = $1,000 * 96% = $960
Variable expenses = $700
Fixed expenses = $780,000
Contribution per unit = Selling price in 2020 - Variable expenses = $960 - $700 = $260
Bonita’s break-even point in units for 2020 = Fixed expenses / Contribution per unit = $780,000 / $960 = 812.50 units
Therefore, Bonita’s break-even point in units for 2020 is 812.50 units.

$1,223.91
Explanation:
As per the concept of time value of money, the value of money today is more than the value of money tomorrow.
Given:
Price of car = $26,000
Interest rate 12%, compounded monthly
Tenure = 2 years
Now, Price of the car is the value of money today to purchase the car. So, while computing the monthly payment for car $26,000 will be considered as present value.
Monthly payment for car can be computed easily using Microsoft excel.
Use the following mentioned formula to calculate the monthly payment.
"=PMT(rate,nper,pv,[fv])"
wherein,
Rate = 12%/2 (because it has been compounded monthly)
nper = 2*12 (because 2 years are to be compounded monthly.)
Pv = $26,000 (as mentioned earlier)
Since, there is no Fv so it blank.
