Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information: we are to:

a)  Prepare an income statement for Ponzi for today and for each of the next three quarters. Ignore taxes. (LO1)

An income statement involves depicts the achievement of a certain business over  a period of time .

The income statement for Ponzi for today and for each of the next three quarters is as follows:

                        Quarter 1      Quarter 2       Quarter 3        Quarter 4

Sales                   $0                  $550              $600             $0

 (-)

cost of goods       0                   $500              $500             $0

sold

Net income           0                  $50                 $100               0

We will see that  in the first and the fourth quarter ; the firm neither pay any cash to purchase goods nor collect cash for sales. Thus ; the cashflow will be zero in those instances and we will consider only the second and the fourth quarter for sales income and production cost.

SO:

Quarter 2 sales = 50 × 11 = $550

Quarter 3 sales = 50 × 12 = $600

(b) What are the cash flows for the company today and in each of the next three quarters?

Cash flow is like a database that helps to keep tracks and records the cash inflows and cash outflows of a financial instrument.

The cash flow in each month is as follows:

                        Quarter 1      Quarter 2       Quarter 3        Quarter 4

Sales                   $0                  $550              $600             $0

 (-)

cost of goods       0                   $500              $500             $0

sold

Net income           0                  $50                 $100               0

Inventories         $1000          $500                   0                  0

Account

Receivables       0                    550                  600                0

Net working

capital                 $1000          $1050             $600                0

Change in WC   $1000           $50                 $450              $600

CashFlow           $1000          $0                  $550              $600

Hint:

The Cash flow = net income - change in net working capital

The net working capital = Inventory + Account receivables

Quarter 2 sales = 50 × 11 = $550

Quarter 3 sales = 50 × 12 = $600

(c) What is Ponzi’s net working capital in each quarter? (LO1)

The net working capital in each quarter can be illustrated as :

                        Quarter 1      Quarter 2       Quarter 3        Quarter 4

Inventories        $1000             $500              0                    $0

Account recei-    0                   $550              $600             $0

Domestic producers experience limited import competition when a VER is in place. As a result, these producers make extra profit
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Quota rent

Explanation:

When voluntary export restraints (VER) are set up and / or import quotas are enforced, the extra profit that domestic producers make because the supply is artificially limited is called quota rent. Quota rents are a type of economic inefficiency since they produce more losses than benefits. Society as a whole generally losses while a group of favored companies make huge profits.

For example, sugar imports are limited in the US, so domestic sugar producers are able to sell sugar at much higher prices than regular international prices. That artificial extra profit earned by sugar companies in the US can be classified as quota rent.

Explanation:

Annual Payment = $2,000

Future value = $102,979

So, Ira Schwab will have $102,979 in his retirement account in 10 years.

She negotiated a price of $21,900 and will trade in her old car for $2,350. She will put another $850 with it and borrow the rem
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The monthly payment will be $434

Explanation:

Price of New car = $21,900

Price of old car exchanged = $2,350

Cash Payment = $850

Amount of Loan = $21,900 - $2,350 - $850

Amount of Loan = A = $18,700

Rate of interest = r = 6% = 0.06 = 0.005 per month

Number of total periods = 12 x 4 = 48

P = $18500 / { [ ( 1 + 0.005 )^48 ] - 1 } / [ 0.005 ( 1 + 0.005)^48 ]

P = $18500 / [ 0.2704891611 / 0.006352446 ]

P = $18500 / 42.58

P = $434.47
