In competitive markets, a surplus or shortage will select one:

Business

Andrej [43]4 years ago

Answer: c.  

In a  competitive market, there are many producers competing to provide consumers the products they needed and thus they cannot dictate prices.

If a surplus occurs, there is an excess of quantity supplied and since producers won't be able to sell all their products, they tend or are forced to lower their price.

The reverse happens when there is a shortage. When there is less supply in the market, price increases.

Surplus and shortage in a competitive market, therefore, will cause shifts in the demand and supply curves that tend to eliminate the surplus or shortage.

tangare [24]

Answer:

Average customer life value

CLV = 1260

Explanation:

Gross Margin \times\frac{retention}{1+discount-retention} )= CLV

Fis, we will calcualteteh gross margin.

For that we need the revenue:

We will calculate the average revenue per year:

50%  30 dollars per month = 180

40%  50 dollars per month = 240

10%   80 dollars per month =  96

average annual revenue per customer: 516

now we ill calcualte the gross margin:

revenue           516

maintenance   (45)

administrative (30)

gross margin   441

441 \times\frac{0.8}{1+0.08-0.80} )= CLV

CLV = 1260

Locus Company has total fixed costs of $112,000. Its product sells for $35 per unit and variable costs amount to $25 per unit. N
igomit [66]

Answer:

12,320 units

Explanation

First we have to determine the target profit.

Desired Profit = $112,000 x 10% = $11,200

Now we will calculate the contribution margin which is a net value of selling price and variable cost.

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost

Contribution margin = $35 - $25

Contribution margin = $10 per unit

Formula for target sales is as follow

Target Sales = ( Fixed cost + Target profit ) / Contribution margin

Target Sales = ( $112,000 + $11,200 ) / $10

Target Sales = $123,200 / $10 = 12,320 units

Orlov [11]

Answer:

The cumulative difference is a deferred tax asset of $ 2100.

Explanation:

The easiest approach to answering this question will be to use table differentiating the amounts for each year between accounting depreciation and tax depreciation

We will shorten amount to thousands to make the layout easier to read.

Year 1 Depreciation - 100 Tax - (200) Difference (100) Tax at 21% - (21)

Year 2 Depreciation - 100 Tax - (150) Difference (50)  Tax at 21% - (10,5)

Year 3 Depreciation - 100 Tax - (80) Difference 20       Tax at 21% - 4,2

Year 4 Depreciation - 100 Tax - (50)  Difference 50       Tax at 21% - 10,5

Year 5 Depreciation - 100 Tax - (10) Difference 90        Tax at 21% - 18,9

Cumulative temporary difference over the 5 year period =                 2,1 or 2100 deferred tax asset. It's recognised as an asset as we will pay more tax in the current period, but less tax in the future. Tax liabilities reduce tax payable in the current period, but increase tax payable in the future.
