1 answer:

3 0

Marginal benefit is the extra satisfaction or recieved when one consumes an addition unit of a good or a service. Therefore the amount a person or an individual is willing to pay so as to enjoy the additional unit of a good or a service is the person's marginal benefit. Therefore, marginal benefit is not the benefit a person's activity provides another person.

Answer:

Coronado Corporation

a) The preferred stock is noncumulative and nonparticipating:

Allocation Preferred Stock Common Stock

of Dividends

$87,500 $17,100 ($190,000 * 9%) $70,400 ($87,500 - 17,100)

b) The preferred stock is cumulative and nonparticipating:

Allocation Preferred Stock Common Stock

of Dividends

$87,500 $51,300 ($190,000 * 9%)*3 $36,200 ($87,500 - 51,300)

c) The preferred stock is cumulative and participating

Allocation Preferred Stock Common Stock

of Dividends

$87,500 $48,944 $38,556

Amount due $17,100 ($190,000 * 9%)

Participation $31,844 = $31,844/$87,500 * 100 = 36.4%

Participation = $87,500 - ($17,100 + $38,556) = $31,844

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Outstanding capital stock:

9% Preferred stock = 1,900 shares of $100 par value ($190,000)

Common stock = 5,400 shares of $50 par value ($270,000)

Assuming retained earnings = $87,500 to be paid out in dividends.

No preference stock dividends were paid out during the last 2 years.

1) The preferred stock is noncumulative and nonparticipating:

Allocation Preferred Stock Common Stock

of Dividends

$87,500 $17,100 ($190,000 * 9%) $70,400 ($87,500 - 17,100)

2) The preferred stock is cumulative and nonparticipating:

Allocation Preferred Stock Common Stock

of Dividends

$87,500 $51,300 ($190,000 * 9%)*3 $36,200 ($87,500 - 51,300)

3) The preferred stock is cumulative and participating

Allocation Preferred Stock Common Stock

of Dividends

$87,500 $48,944 $38,556

Amount due $17,100 ($190,000 * 9%)

Participation $31,844 = $31,844/$87,500 * 100 = 36.4%

Participation = $87,500 - ($17,100 + $38,556) = $31,844

Suppose Securitex is a small firm that has developed a new anti-theft device for automobiles. Securitex currently sells its dev

Harman [31]

Answer:

The data is missing, so I looked for a similar question (see attached image).

in a subgame perfect equilibrium, players take turns, one player (GM) will take turn an make an offer to the second player (Securitex), and then the second player will decide whether to accept the offer or not. The situations where the offer is rejected are not really an equilibrium since basically GM and Securitex get nothing out of the deal.

The two remaining options where Securitex accepts the offer must be analyzed in the following way:

After GM makes its move, is Securitex going to be better off or not. If GM makes a high offer and Securitex accepts it, then both will be better off. But if GM makes a low offer and Securitex accepts, it, GM will be better off but Securitex will be worse off, so that is not a real equilibrium.

The only option where a real equilibrium happens and is accepted by both, is that GM makes a high offer and Securitex accepts it. This would be option C.

A consumer products company has collected some data relating monthly demand to the price of one of its products: 4. Price Demand

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Linear function. It is actually a negative linear graph. for the products prices increases, there was a noticeable decrease in demand

slope y=-225/8x+19275/8

y=1987.5

y=1903.125

Explanation:

A consumer products company has collected some data relating monthly demand to the price of one of its products: 4. Price Demand $111100 2,100 $13 2,020 1,980 1,875 $19 What type of model would best represent these data?

Linear function. It is actually a negative linear graph. for the products prices increases, there was a noticeable decrease in demand

slope is

m=y2-y1/(x2-x1)

PICKING TWO POINTS

(11,2100) and (19,1875)

m=1875-2100/(19-11)

m=-225/8

as the slope

(11,2100). y=mx+b or

2100=-225/8 × 11+b,

solving for b: b=2100-(-225/8)(11).

b=19275/8.

(19,1875). y=mx+b or 1875=-225/8 × 19+b, or solving for b: b=1875-(-225/8)(19).

b=19275/8. is the intercept

y=mx+c is the equation of line graph

y=-225/8x+19275/8

when x=15

y=1987.5

when x=18, y=

-225/8(18)+19275/8

y=1903.125
