Answer:

d. about 11.4 percent

Explanation:

% change in pound = ($2.05 - $1.95)/$1.95

                                 = 5.1%

Effective financing rate = (1 + 6%)(1 + 5.1%) - 1

                                       = 11.4%

Therefore, The effective financing rate for a U.S. firm that takes out a one-year, uncovered British loan is about 11.4 percent.

Equipment that cost $660,000 and has accumulated depreciation of $300,000 is exchanged for equipment with a fair value of $480,0
amid [387]

Answer:

$240,000          

Explanation:

The computation of the gain to be recognized is shown below:

= Total Exchange value - net value

where,

Total exchange value equals to

= Fair value of equipment + cash received

= $480,000 + $120,000

=$600,000

And, the net value would be

= Estimated cost - accumulated depreciation

= $660,000 - $300,000

= $360,000

ow put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= $600,000 - $360,000

= $240,000

Balance Sheet
Nataly [62]

Solution :

a). Total debt = notes payable + long term debt

                      = 145,000 + 750,000

                     = $ 895,000

b). Total liabilities and equity = total assets

                                                = 2,900,000

c). Current assets = total assets - net plant and equipment

                             = 2,900,000 - 2,600,000

                              =$ 300,000

d). Total current liabilities = total liabilities and equity - total common equity - long term debt

                           = 2,900,000 - 1,550,000 - 750,000

                           = $ 600,000

e). Accounts payable and accruals = total current liabilities - notes payable  

                                                          = 600,000 - 145,000

                                                          = 455,000

f). Net working capital = current asset - current liabilities

                                    = 300,000 - 600,000

                                   = - $300,000

g). Net operating working capital = current assets - accounts payable and accruals

                                  = 300,000 - 455,000

                                 = - $ 155,000

h). The difference between f) and g). represents the balance of notes payable.

Jake is leaving Shoe Warehouse to open his own shoe boutique. Jake currently earns $40,000 a year at Shoe Warehouse, but he is e
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

$79,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Implicit cost and explicit costs are as follows:

Earning at Shoe Warehouse = $40,000 a year

Jake has rented a storefront = $40,000 per year

Spend = $11,000 on inventory

Total revenue = $170,000 per year

Therefore,

Economic profit = Total revenue - (Explicit cost + implicit costs)

                          = $170,000 - ($11,000 + $40,000 + $40,000)

                          = $170,000 - $91,000

                          = $79,000

A firm's average cost increases as it increases its output by expanding its plant and hiring additional workers (its only inputs
KiRa [710]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example.

Explanation:

The law of Diminishing Marginal Productivity states that increasing one variable will keep the others the same. My initially increase output but eventually adding more of that one variable may lead to a diminishing rate of return. The law helps explain why increasing production is not always the best way to increase profits.

The law of Diminishing Marginal Productivity only applies when certain inputs are fixed, but in this example, the amount of labor available varies since it is increasing.
