<span>One measure of the extent of competition in an industry is the concentration ratio. what level of concentration indicates that an industry is an​ oligopoly? Most economists believe that a​ four-firm concentration ratio of greater than 40 percent indicates that an industry is an oligopoly.

An oligopoly is a market where there is a small number of large sellers. They dominate their market but also have their own market structure where they are able to keep a lot of firms from having influence over them. </span>

On January 1, 2018, Burleson Corporation’s projected benefit obligation was $48 million. During 2018 pension benefits paid by th
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

$59.8 million.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the year, the Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) was $48 million, however, during the year this amount was affected by several factors that are explained in the problem statement: the service cost ($13 million), the interest costs (defined by a discount rate of 10%) and the pension benefits paid by the company ($6 million).

To understand how it was modified exactly, first, we will do a theoretical analysis and then present it more <em>graphically</em> as a financial statement.

1. Theoretical analysis

Firstly, a Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) is a measure that reflects how much a company needs at the present time (December 31, 2018) to cover future pension liabilities. We know that the year began with a PBO of $48 million. However, this amount must be added to the service costs ($13 million), which is the increase in the present value of the liabilities, because the employees have completed another year in the company and that implies an increase in their pension credit.  

Therefore, so far, the PBO at December 31, 2018 is $61 million. To this amount must be added the interest cost which is the annual interest amount on the unpaid balance of the PBO. In this case, an interest rate of 10% is handled. Therefore the amount of interest is equal to $48 million (original PBO) * 10% = 4.8 million.

So far, the PBO at December 31, 2018 is $61 + $4.8 = $65.8 million

Finally, the pension benefits paid by the trustee during 2018 should be subtracted, since they are a partial payment of the PBO.

Therefore, we have: $65.8 - $6 = $59.8

2. As a financial statement.

. Determine the receivables turnover ratio and average days sales in receivables for the current year. (Use 365 days a year. Do
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, find complete question in the attached.

The receivables turnover for the current year is 9.02 times while average days sales in receivable is  41 days

Explanation:

The formula for computing receivables turnover ratio is given as:

Net credit sales/average accounts receivable,where average receivables is the opening plus closing receivables divided by two.

Net credit sales=$35,657

Average receivables =($3495+$4415)/2=$3955

Receivable turnover ratio=$35657/$3955

                                          =9.02

Average days sales in receivable=number of days in the year/receivable turnover ratio

Average days sales in receivable=365/9.02

                                                          =40.47 days approx 41 days

The average days sales in receivable implies the average number of days it takes receivables to settle their accounts

What is the difference between gross income, taxable income, and adjusted gross income?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Here is what I found, I hope it helps

Explanation:

Gross Income contains all money you earn that is not expressly removed from taxation under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The part of your gross income which is currently subjected to taxes is Taxable Income. To arrive at the number of Taxable Income, expenses are deducted from gross income. For a year, your Gross Income applies to all your pre-tax earnings, while your Adjusted Gross Income is mostly smaller and refers to your income after tax deductions. I could not find the difference between Adjusted Gross Income and Taxable Income.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The correct answer is: produce inside its production possibilities frontier.

Explanation:

The production possibility frontier shows the maximum possible combination of two goods that an economy can produce using all the available resources and state of technology.

Unemployment in an economy means that all the available resources are not being completely used. So, the economy will operate at a point inside the production possibility curve.

Production at this point will be feasible but allocatively inefficient.
