Answer:
a. in order to calculate this we must assume that the economy entered a recession:
degree of operating leverage = [($20 - $70)/$70] / [($260 - $520)/$520] = -0.7143 / -0.5 = 1.43
b. $14 million
Explanation:
strong economy:
total sales $520 million
<u>variable costs $420 million</u>
gross profit $100 million
<u>fixed costs $30 million</u>
EBIT $70 million
<u>income taxes $21 million</u>
net income $49 million
weak economy:
total sales $260 million
<u>variable costs $210 million</u>
gross profit $50 million
<u>fixed costs $30 million</u>
EBIT $20 million
<u>income taxes $6 million</u>
net income $14 million
Answer:
Export
true
Explanation:
Because the price of meekers in meekertown is lower than the world price for meekers, meekers from meekertown are cheaper. so if free trade is allowed, other countries would want to purchase meekers from meekertown because it is cheaper.
So, meekertown would export meekers if free trade is allowed.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
this is so because if the country is efficient in production of a good (producing at a lower price when compared to the world price), export of the good would increase thus increasing producer surplus. if on the other hand, the country is inefficient in producing a good and the country allows for free trade, the country can import the good. this would increase consumer surplus.
Answer:
b. performing an experiment in an economic system.
Explanation:
In contrast to scientific experimentation, whereby connections and differences can be measured between two or more variables. In economics, theory and observation are more difficult than in sciences such as physics due to the difficulty in performing an experiment in an economic system, as human beings' opinions change over time, due to dynamism in human society.
Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option
Answer: interest and population growth
Explanation:
Examples of exponential growth in real world.
1. interest on a savings account (finance). example when you deposit let say $1000 in an account that earns you a simple interest rate of 10% in a year you would earn $100, with each year the amount of interest paid continues to grow exponentially. The bank customer or owner of the account stands to benefit from this growth.
2. Population growth ( science ) population continues to grow exponentially overtime due to individuals available to produce not minding the available resources.a large population usually translates to a good economy development due to more people available so the citizen benefits from it.
Examples of career that it would be difficult to work in
1. Financial advisor
2. Bankers
For someone working as a financial advisor or banker would need the knowledge of exponential growth by understanding compound returns. In finance, compound returns leads to exponential growth. Compounding powers is part the most powerful tools in finance. This method is used by financial advisors and bankers for creating large sums from an initial deposit.
