Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Productive efficiency.

Explanation:

Productive Efficiency is a point where an economy cannot increase the output of a good or service without lowering another product's production level. An economy operating along its Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) has been optimizing its efficiency in production.

Productive Efficiency is achieved with the lowest possible cost of producing goods. In such a case, economists and companies try to manufacture goods using the fewest available resources.

Answer:

The correct option is C,productive efficiency

Explanation:

Allocative efficiency occurs when goods are produced to reflect the preferences of the consumers.This means that the producers are not concerned about deploying their resources in the most efficient manner as the overriding point is the satisfaction of customers' expectations.Hence option B is wrong.

Voluntary exchange refers to process of suppliers and customers engaging in business transactions with freewill.

However,productive points to effective and efficient allocation of resources to yield maximum output and at the lowest possible cost per unit.No doubt option C is the correct answer.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Number of equivalent units= 18,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Conversion costs for Department B were 50% complete concerning the 6,000 units in the beginning work in process and 75% complete for the 8,000 units in the ending work in process. A total of 12,000 units were completed and transferred out of Department B during February.

With the information provided, we can calculate the number of equivalent units of the period.

Beginning work in process = 6,000*0.5= 3,000

Units started and completed = 12,000 - 3,000= 9,000

Ending work in process completed= 8,000*0.75= 6,000

Number of equivalent units= 18,000

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

B. No; The IRR is less than the required return by about 1.53 percent

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

The IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year zero = -$42,000

Cash flow in year one = 15,300

Cash flow in year two = 28,400

Cash flow in year three = 7,500

IRR = 11.47%

A project should be chosen if the IRR is greater than the required return

The IRR is less than the required return so the project should be rejected.

To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Assume that you would like to purchase 100 shares of preferred stock that pays an annual dividend of $6.00 per share. However, y

butalik [34]

Answer:

$267.1211

Explanation:

return on preference share per unit is $6 , thus at 12% annual rate of return. Initial value of preference shares will be $50 per unit ( $6 divided by 12%).

Total value of preference shares = $50 multiplied by 100 preference shares = $5000

Future value of preference shares = 5000 (1.12)^5 = $8,811.7084

to find the value of money to be deposited to be able to buy the preference shares at the end of 5 yrs.

we work back to get the present value using the mutual fund annual rate

$8811.7084 = pv (1.06)^60 the rate is compounded monthly. Hence we shall compound the return 60 times in 5 years

Bank account money = 8811.7084 divided by 32.9877 = $267.1211
