Answer:

if the equipment is purchased, The ROI will decrease by 4.04%

Explanation:

current controllable margin = 53000

current operating assets = $210000

current ROI = 53000/$210000

                    = 25.24%

then:

New ROI = 53000/250000

               =  21.2%

Therefore, if the equipment is purchased, The ROI will decrease by 4.04%

A competitive firm maximizes profit by choosing a level of output where the world price is equal to the firm's
klemol [59]

Answer: c. Marginal Cost

Explanation:

A Competitive firm operates in a market where they are price takers. This means that the price they charge is equal to both their average revenue and their Marginal Revenue.

P = MR = AR

Companies maximise profit at a point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point, resources are being fully utilized.

If the Competitive firm's Price is the same as its Marginal Revenue this means that to maximise profits, the firm should choose an output level where the price is equal to the marginal cost.

A firm can lease a truck for 4 years at a cost of $30,000 annually. It can instead buy a truck at a cost of $80,000, with annual
valina [46]

Answer:

Leasing.

Explanation:

Find the present value of each and compare and choose the one with the lowest cost in present value terms.

<u>LEASE;</u>

Payments are in form of an annuity ;done using financial calculator (TI BA II plus)

PMT = -30,000

N ;duration = 4

I/Y = 10%

FV = 0

then CPT PV = -$95,095.96

<u>BUY</u>

Initial cost; (already in present value terms) = -$80,000

Annual maintenance(is an annuity); done using financial calculator (TI BA II plus)

PMT = -10,000

N ;duration = 4

I/Y = 10%

FV = 0

then CPT PV = -$31,698.65

Add PV of salvage value;

PV = FV/ (1+r)^4

PV = 20,000 /(1.10^4)

= 20,000/ 1.4641

= $13,660.26911

Overall PV of BUYING = (-80,000 -31,698.65 + 13,660.26911) = -$98,038.38

Therefore, leasing is a better option since the overall present value of costs  is lower at $95,095.96 compared to that of buying at 98,038.38.

Minneapolis, MN has a CPI of 173. Anchorage, AK has a CPI of 226. How does the purchasing power of someone in Minneapolis earnin
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The answer is: C) The person living in Anchorage has $50.80/CPI more than the person in Minneapolis.

Explanation:

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) weighs the average prices of a basket of consumer goods and services. So the higher the CPI, the more expensive it is to purchase goods or services in that place.

The purchasing power of someone living in Minneapolis and earning $42,500 is $245.66/CPI; for someone living in Anchorage and earning $67,000 is $296.46/CPI. The difference between them is $296.46/CPI minus $245.66/CPI equals $50.80/CPI.

The person living in Anchorage has $50.80/CPI more than the person in Minneapolis.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

2. For Joe income effect dominates while for Adam substitution effect dominates

Explanation:

Income effect refers to change in the real i.e inflation adjusted income when prices change.

In the given case, Joe works at two jobs which means that for a greater income he is willing to work for more hours. Thus, in his case it can be said that income effect is prominent.

In the case of Adam, he works overtime regularly which means for every extra hour of work, he earns an extra income. This represents change in the relative income owing to change in working habits. This is a case of substitution effect.
