Answer:

For year 2010

Degree of combined leverage is 3.82

For year 2011

Degree of combined leverage is 4.11

Explanation:

Computing the degree of combined leverage of the firm with the formula stated below as:

Degree of combined leverage = Contribution margin / EBT

where

Contribution margin is computed as:

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable Cost

EBT (Earnings Before tax) is computed as:

EBT = EBIT - Interest

Now, computing the same by applying the formula:

For year 2010

Contribution margin = $700,000 - $406,000

= $294,000

EBT = $119,000 - $42,000

= $77,000

Degree of combined leverage = $294,000 / $77,000

= 3.82

For year 2011

Contribution margin = $760,000 - $448,000

= $312,000

EBT = $122,000 - $46,000

= $76,000

Degree of combined leverage = $312,000 / $76,000

= 4.11

<span>One measure of the extent of competition in an industry is the concentration ratio. what level of concentration indicates that an industry is an oligopoly? Most economists believe that a four-firm concentration ratio of greater than 40 percent indicates that an industry is an oligopoly.

An oligopoly is a market where there is a small number of large sellers. They dominate their market but also have their own market structure where they are able to keep a lot of firms from having influence over them. </span>

beks73 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "$21490".

Explanation:

The given expenditures are:

January:

= $205000

September:

= $306000

December:

= $306000

Now,

January average will be:

= $205000\times \frac{12}{12}$

= $205000$ ($)

September average will be:

= $306000\times \frac{4}{12}$

= $102000$

December average will be:

= $306000\times \frac{0}{12}$

= $0$

The total average will be:

= $205000+102000+0$

= $307000$ ($)

Hence,

The Interest capitalized for year 2021 will be:

= $Interest \ rate\times Weighted \ average$

On substituting the estimated values, we get

= $7 \ percent\times 307000$

= $21490$ ($)

The Evanstonian is an upscale independent hotel that caters to both business and leisure travelers. On average, one-third of the

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1/3rd of the guests are leisure travelers

2/3rd of the guests are business travelers

Average leisure travelers stay for 3.6 nights

Average business travelers stay for 3.6*1/2 = 1.8

It is given that on average day 135 guests check into The Evanstonian (R)

Leisure travelers = 135*1/3=45 guests per day(night)

Average number of leisure travelers = 45*3.6 = 162 guests

Business travelers = 135*2/3 = 90 guests per night

Average number of business travelers = 90*1.8 = 162 guests

Total inventory = Leisure travelers + Business travelers = 162*2 = 324

Inventory turns = R/total inventory = 135/324 = 0.4167 turns per day

per month: 0.4167 * 30 = 12.5 turns

324 rooms are booked for a night on average

We calculated that half of them are booked by leisure and half by business travelers

Therefore, average revenue is 1/2*250 + 1/2* 210 = 125 + 105 = $230
