amid [387]

Answer:

Both parties experience surplus, but there is inequity because Steve has a much larger producer surplus

Explanation:

The options to this question wasn't provided. Here are the options : Both parties experience surplus, but there is inequity because Steve has a much larger producer surplus. Both parties experience surplus, so the transaction was equitable. Only Steve benefits from the sale. Srivani will not be happy with her purchase.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least amount the seller is willing to sell his good.

While both parties earn a surplus, the producer surplus exceeds the consumer surplus . Therefore, the seller benefited more from the trade than the consumer.

Garth Corporation sells a single product. If the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10% a

Sonja [21]

Answer:

D) CM per unit: Increases

CM ratio: No change

BE in units: Decreases

Explanation:

Let us suppose that

In the first case

The selling price per unit is $100

And, the variable cost per unit is $50

The fixed expense is $100,000

So, the contribution margin per unit

= $100 - $50

= $50

The CM ratio is

= $50 ÷ $100

= 50%

And, the break even point in units is

= $100,000 ÷ $50

= 2,000 units

Now if the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10%

So,

The selling price per unit is $100 × 1.10 = $110

And, the variable cost per unit is $50 × 1.10 = $55

The fixed expense is $100,000

So, the contribution margin per unit

= $110 - $55

= $55

The CM ratio is

= $55 ÷ $110

= 50%

And, the break even point in units is

= $100,000 ÷ $55

= 1,818 units

Hence, the last option is correct

If the company were to issue an annual zero-coupon bond with a maturity of 2 years and par value of $1,000, what would be the ar

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>

1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.

PV * (1 + S1) = FV

1 + S1 = 1000 / 900

S1 = 1.1111 - 1

S1 = 0.1111

S1 = 11.11%

1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950

Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50

950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2

950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2

1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905

(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905

1 + S2 = 1.160221/2

S2 = 7.714%

1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586

Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92

If a good is normal, then an increase in income will result in a(n) a. increase in the demand for the good. b. decrease in the d

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

a. increase in the demand for the good.

Explanation:

As we know that

In the case of normal goods, there is a positive relationship between the income and the quantity demand. If the income rises, the quantity demand is also rising and vice versa

But in the case of inferior goods, it shows an inverse relationship between the income and the quantity demand. If the income rises, the quantity demand is falling and vice versa

Total assets of Charter Company equal $700,000 and its equity is $420,000. What is the amount of its liabilities? b. Total asset

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

a. Total liabilities = $280,000

b. Total liabilities = $250,000

Total equity -= $250,000

Explanation:

As we know that

Total assets = Total liabilities + shareholder equity

So in the first case

The amount of the liabilities is

Total liabilities = Total assets - Total equity

= $700,000 - $420,000

= $280,000

And, in the second case, the total assets is $500,000

And, the liabilities and equity amounts are equal to each other

So in this case, the liabilities is $250,000 and the equity is $250,000
