Answer: Protective tariff

Explanation: Protective tariffs are basically designed to protect the domestic producers from foreign competition. These tariffs raise the retail price of imported products making them expensive in comparison to domestic  products and thereby making domestic products more  competitive.

Thus, by placing a tax on imported equipment in order to make it more expensive, these industries hope that <em>Protective tariff</em> will allow u.s. producers to be more competitive.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Note: The full question is attached below

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable expenses

Contribution margin = $31 - $15

Contribution margin = $16

                                          Current          Proposed

Contribution margin         $6,080             $7,296

<em>                                          ($16*380)       (6080*$1.2)</em>

Fixed Cost                         <u>($1,490</u>)            <u>($1,490)</u>

Net operating income      $4,590            $5,806

Increase in profit = ($5,806 - $4,590) / $4,590

Increase in profit = 0.2649237

Increase in profit = 26.50%

The concept of risk and return is subjective for different people, as well as for corporations.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Risk and Return

1. Joe is an average investor. His financial advisor gave him options of investing in stock A, with a σ of 12%, and stock B, with a σ of 9%. Both stocks have the same expected return of 16%. Joe can pick only one stock and decides to invest in stock B.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

2. Marcie works for an educational technology firm that recently launched its employee stock option plan (ESOP). Marcie allocated all her investments in the ESOP.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

3. rin wants to invest in a hedge fund that has had a very strong performance track record. The hedge fund has given its investors a return of over 60% for the past five years. Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

Explanation:

1. Joe's decision to invest in stock B is a good financial decision.  Since both investments have the same returns, the decision on which investment to take shifts to the standard deviation of the returns, which specifies the variability of the returns.  Invariably, the investment with less standard deviation should win the vote.  Therefore, Joe's decision is a good financial decision because investment in B has a standard deviation of 9% unlike A's 12%.

2. Putting all eggs in one market as Marcie had done by allocating all her investments in the ESOP is not a good financial decision, theoretically.  It is always best to spread the risks, though higher-yielding investments (returns) bear higher risks.

3. The decision of Erin to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund's assets, despite its past performance is a good financial decision.  Due diligence reveals some behind-the-scene information that are instrumental in making sound business decisions.  Who are the present managers of the fund?  What systems are in place in the entity to guarantee similar future performance, all things being equal?  What market's sentiments and information are available for consideration?  These questions, and many others can be answered through a due diligence.  Surely, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

$22,000

Explanation:

Current liabilities are debts that a company must pay within a twelve month period.

This company's current liabilities are:

  • Accounts payable  $15,000
  • Interest payable  $7,000

Total current liabilities = $15,000 + $7,000 = $22,000

Since the note payable is due in 18 months, it is not considered a current liability.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

16.80% and 39.43%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the net profit margin is shown below:

Net profit margin = Net income ÷ Total revenues × 100

For Travel lite, the net profit margin is

= $1,080 ÷ $6,430 × 100

= 16.80%

And, for fare line, the net profit margin is

= $3,020 ÷ $7,660 × 100

= 39.43%

By dividing the net income or net profit by the total revenues we can get the net profit margin or we can say it is profit percentage that is earned by the company

It is always expressed in percentage
