Answer:

It is better to cleaned and shipped to the firm's outlet center at a cost of $23,000 to be sold at $80,000

Explanation: In alternative A) the firm loss is $80,000 ($125,000-$45,000)

In alternative E) all $125,000 is lost

In alternative B, C and D) the loss is $68,000 ($125,000-$80,000+$23,000)

Relevant costs are those evitable, that are cause of a manager decision related to an specific business decision.  

The only cost that can be avoided in these example is the cost of $23,000 so the goods can be cleaned and shipped to the firm's outlet center

Vlada [557]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

An investment that "promises" a 44 percent annual return is most likely a scam, because even the riskiest stocks rarely yield annual returns higher than 10% of the initial investment.

Besides, the option is described as very complicated, and you as a potential investor do not understand it well, which is a very difficult position to be in because it could even lead you to being scammed without realizing.

Llana [10]

Answer:

Option (B) 5.5%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question :

Factor             Risk premium

Factor 1               5%

Factor 2              3%

Beta of stock A on factor 1 = 1.4

Beta of stock A on factor 2 = 0.5

Expected return = 14%

Now,

Expected return

= Risk free rate + (Beta of factor 1 × Risk premium of factor 1) + (Beta of factor 2 × Risk premium of factor 2)

or

14% = Risk free rate + (1.4 × 5%) + (0.5 × 3%)

or

14% = Risk free rate + ( 7% + 1.5% )

or

Risk free rate = 5.5%

Hence,

Option (B) 5.5%

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

As a result of the price floor, price would increase. As a result, quantity demanded will decrease and the quantity supplied would increase.

Supply would exceed demand and as a result there would be an excess supply of fish.  

As an alternative to the price floor, the government can subsidise the cost of fishing. This would reduce the cost of producing fish

Explanation:

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
