Answer:

Polo will report $318,750 as its investment in Stallion at December 31, 20X8

Explanation:

Common stock = $300,000 acquired at 75%

Net income = $40,000

Pay dividends = $10,000

Increase in value of Patent = $50,000    

Economic Life = 10    

Amortization = $5,000    

Therefore, the $ 5000 would be reduced from the net income.

Investments in Polo = $300,000 + [0.75 × (40000 - 10000 - 5000)]

= $300,000+ 0.75(25,000)  

= $300,000+ $18,750    

= $318,750

You are purchasing an equipment for $ 200,000 for your new store. Assume the store has no other expenses or revenues other than
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Negative cash balance of $210,000.

Explanation:

Given that,

cost of equipment = $200,000

Inventory purchased = $12,500

Cash balance = $2,000

Accounts payable = $4,500

Net cash flow at time zero:

= (cost of equipment) + (Increase in working capital)

= ($200,000) + (Inventory purchased + cash balance - Accounts payable)

= ($200,000) + ($12,500 + $2,000 - $4,500)

= ($200,000) + ($10,000)

= ($210,000)

Note: Negative values are in the parenthesis.

Suppose that a firm produces 10 units of output. Its Average Variable Cost (AVC) = $25, Average Fixed Cost (AFC) = $5, and Margi
Andreyy89

Answer:

Total Cost  = $300

Average Total Cost = $30  

correct option is a.) Total cost is $300

Explanation:

given data

produces output = 10 units

Marginal Cost = $30

Average Variable Cost = $25

Average Fixed Cost = $5

solution

first we get here total cost that is

Total Cost = Total Variable Cost + Total Fixed Cost    .................................1

so here Total Variable Cost = Average Variable Cost × Output    

Total Variable Cost = $25 ×  10

Total Variable Cost =  $250

and total fix cost is = Average Fixed Cost × Output

total fix cost = $5 × 10 =

total fix cost = $50

so Total Cost is here

Total Cost  = $250 + $50

Total Cost  = $300

A) is correct

and

Average Total Cost will be

Average Total Cost = \frac{total\ cost}{out\ put}    ...................2

Average Total Cost = \frac{300}{10} = $30

Average Total Cost = $30

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Because naturally within a market the equilibrium price is trying to be reached, (besides price ceilings and floors imposed by the government), Sellers will naturally push the price downwards because they must compete with each other to make a living. Thus answer C. is correct.

A particular stock has a dividend yield of 1.5 percent. Last year, the stock price fell from $82 to $68. What was the return for
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The return for the year is -15.57%.

Explanation:

We have the formula to calculate Return for the year as:

* Return for the year = Dividend yield + Capital Gain/(Loss).

in which:

* Dividend yield is given at 1.5%;

* Capital Gain/(Loss) = Price at year end/ Price at the beginning of the year - 1 = 68/82 -1 = - 17.07%;

So we have:

* Return for the year = Dividend yield + Capital (Loss) = 1.5% - 17.07% = -15.57%.

Thus, the answer is -15.57%.
