Answer:

If the company decides to increase its advertising budget, its net profits will  decrease by $200 (= $56,800 - $57,000).

Explanation:

The company is currently selling 5,000 units per month at $150 per unit, and its total variable costs are $90 per unit.

Fixed expenses are $243,000 per month.

Current income statement:

sales revenue =                    $750,000

minus variable costs =         ($450,000)

<u>minus fixed costs =              ($243,000)  </u>

net income =                           $57,000

If the company increases its advertising budget be $11,000 it should sell 180 more units per month, the new income statement would be:

sales revenue =                    $777,000

minus variable costs =         ($466,200)

<u>minus fixed costs =              ($254,000)  </u>

net income =                           $56,800

If the company decides to increase its advertising budget, its net profits will  decrease by $200 (= $56,800 - $57,000).

You’ve collected the following information from your favorite financial website.
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

-9.92%

Explanation:

P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)

  • Div₁ = next year's expected dividend = $1.12 x (1 - 11.5%) = $0.9912
  • Re = cost of equity = ?
  • P₀ = current stock price = $62.91
  • g = dividend's growth rate = -11.5%

Re =  (Div₁ / P₀) + g

Re = ($0.9912 / $62.91) - 11.5%

Re = 1.58% - 11.5% = -9.92%

Since the cost of equity or required rate of return cannot be negative, I suppose that investors are not worried about Abbott distributing dividends, instead, they prefer that the company reinvests earnings in new projects.

Some economists argue that competitive price-searcher markets are inefficient because
inna [77]

Answer:

A competitive price-searcher market is a market where there are low entry or exit barriers, and the suppliers can determine the price of their products. Some economists believe that this type of market is inefficient because the suppliers are not able to sell enough output in order to minimize their average costs. Since the demand is very elastic in price searcher markets, any price change will cause a drastic change in the quantity demanded.

Price searcher markets share a lot of similarities with perfect competition markets, the main difference is that suppliers and consumers are not price takers. This means that any supplier can change their sales output by changing their price, which leads to greater competition.
