Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Inflation is a way of measuring the rate of a certain product or service increases over a certain period of time, which can be a month, a year, etc.

In inflation,<u> the currency of a country is devalued</u>, that is, the currency loses value. You don't buy the same with 10 dollars today, what you bought with that money ten years ago, and this is caused by inflation.

When inflation occurs the currency of a country decreases its value and this is expressed through a percentage that impacts the cost that products and services will have.

For example, suppose that the rate of a product that today costs 5 dollars is 4% per year. Then said product next year will cost 4% more. This means that the product will cost 5.20 dollars.

Therefore, the correct answer is Inflation is a sustained rise in the general level of prices of goods and services.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

d.All of the above.

Explanation:

Free cash flow is the amount of cash that is available for management to use in any way they want (at their discretion), after all essential payments have been made.

Essential payment may include taxation payment and other operational expenditure.

Keeping in view the above discussion, it can be assumed that the free cash flow can be used to pay additional dividends, acquire more property, plant and equipment and pay off debts.

Therefore the answer is d.All of the above.

Equinox Outdoor Wear issues 1,000 shares of its $0.01 par value preferred stock for cash at $30 per share. Record the issuance o

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The journal entry for the issuance of the preferred stock is shown below:

Explanation:

Cash A/c..................................................Dr $30,000

Preference Stock A/c....................................Cr $10

Paid in Capital in excess of Par A/c...........Cr $29,990

Working Note:

Cash = Shares × Issued price per share

where

Shares are 1,000

Issued Price per share is $30

= 1,000 × $30

= $30,000

Preference Stock = Shares × Par price

= 1,000 × $0.01

=$ 10

Paid in Capital in excess of Par = Cash - Preference stock

= $30,000 - $10

= $29,990

Suppose that the total benefit and total cost from a continuous activity are, respectively, given by the following equations:

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A)= 20+24Q-4Q^{2} (This is the equation for the net benefits)

B) 40; 40

C)MNB(Q)= 24-8Q

D) 16; -16

E) Q=3

F)0

Explanation:

a) To write out the equation for the net benefits.

First, net benefits represents the difference obtained when the total benefits exceed the total costs derived form Q units of the control variable

Based on the definition, the equation is as follows

N(Q)= B(Q) - C(Q)

representing

N(Q)= The Net benefits that are derived from Q level of control variable

B(Q)= The total benefits derived from Q units of control variable

C(Q)= The total cost form Q units of control variable

As we have been given the following:B(Q)= 100 + 36Q - $4Q^{2}$ and C(Q) = 80 +12Q

This means:

N(Q)= 100+36Q-4Q^{2}- (80+12Q)

= 100+36Q-4Q^{2}-80-12Q

=100-80+36q-12Q-4Q^{2}

=20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20+24Q-4Q^{2} (This is the equation for the net benefits)

b) Determine he net benefits when Q = 1 and Q=5

Step 1) when Q=1 we use the formula 20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20(24x1)-(4x (1^{2))

=20+24-4

=40

Step 2) when Q=5 we use the formula 20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20(24x5)-(4x (5^{2))

=20+120-4x25

=140-100

=40

c)To write out the equation for the marginal net benefits

Marginal net benefits represent the change experienced in net benefits with change in one unit of the control variable

The formula therefore is as follows:

MNB(Q)=MB (Q)-MC(Q)

Representing

MNB (Q)= The marginal net benefits at Q level of control variable

MB(Q)= marginal benefits

MC(Q)=Marginal Costs

We are already given: MB(Q) = 36 – 8Q and MC(Q) = 12.)

This means

MNB(Q)=MB (Q)-MC(Q)

= 36-8Q-12

36-12-8Q

=24-8Q

MNB(Q)= 24-8Q

d) Find the marginal net benefits

Step 1) when Q=1 we use the formula for marginal net benefit MNB(Q)= 24-8Q

=MNB(Q)= 24-8(1)

= 16

Step 2) when Q=5 we use the formula for marginal net benefit MNB(Q)= 24-8Q

=MNB(Q)= 24-8(5)

=24-40

=-16

e) Calculate the maximum net benefits which represent the maximum level where the marginal costs= marginal benefits (it is a control variable level).

MB(Q)=MC(C)

MB(Q)= Marginal benefits

MC(Q)= Marginal Costs

We already know that MB(Q) =36-8Q and MC(Q)=12

Therefore, maximum benefit

= MB(Q)= MC(Q)

=36-8Q=12

8Q=36-12

8Q= 24

Q= 3.

This means that when Q is 3, then the net benefits will be at its maximum level

f) Compute marginal net benefits which is the difference between the marginal costs and benefits

MNB(Q)=MB(Q)-MC(Q)

MNB(Q)= Marginal net benefits

MB(Q)= Marginal benefits

MC(Q)= Marginal Costs

we already know that MB(Q) =36-8Q and MC(Q)=12

MNB(Q)= 36-8Q-12

=36-12-8Q

=24-8Q

Since the maximum level where net benefits are highest is 3 as calculated above, we then replace Q with 3 in the equation

MNB(Q)= =24-8(3)

= 24-24

This means at Q level of 3, the net costs will be equal to the net benefits and the net benefits are at the maximum level.
