Answer:

<u> It doesn't consider differences in the cost of living.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Gross national income is a <em>cumulative</em> measure of the total income of the residents of a country in certain period usually a year.

It is misleading since it does not indicate the individual cost of living of residents. Remember, the individuals in the economy could be paying high taxes that eat up a greater part of their income, though it might seem as if the GNI value is good if you based your analysis of the economy on it.

A free enterprise system provides individuals the opportunity to make their own economic decisions, without restrictions from th

ozzi

Explanation:

The free enterprise system is one influenced by the market, which will determine all economic variables, such as price, products and services, and is a system independent of government control to function.

Therefore, it is correct to state that in a free enterprise system, the offer and demand of the consumer for a product or service that will be the determinant of the success or failure of an organization.

As an example of an entrepreneur, we can mention Steve Jobs, who created one of the largest technology companies in the world, Apple. The free enterprise system was one of the reasons for Apple to succeed in becoming one of the most valued companies in the world, due to the fact that it brought innovative products to the market that became examples of products of value to consumers, which made company to grow and become so successful in the market. If the company operated in a government-controlled market, it would probably have to follow specific rules and restrictions for the production of its products that could limit the company, and its performance could be restricted and not as innovative as the company in the market, which is one of the reasons why it achieved success.

Star, Inc., a prominent consumer products firm, is debating whether or not to convert its all-equity capital structure to one th

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) The earnings per share are:

EPS = $39,100/17,000 shares

EPS = $2.30

Cash flow for the company is:

Cash flow = $2.30 X 150 shares

Cash flow = $345

2) Need to determine the EPS of the firm under the proposed capital structure. The market value of the firm is:

MV = $47*17,000 = $799,000

Under the proposed capital structure, the firm will raise new debt in the amount of D = 0.20*$799,000 = $159,800 in debt. The number of shares repurchased will be:

Shares repurchased = $159,800/$47 = 3400

Under the new capital structure, the company will have to make an interest payment on the new debt. The net income with the interest payment will be:

NI = $39,100 – 0.065*$159,800 = $39100-10,387= $28,713

EPS under the new capital structure will be:

EPS = $28,713/13,600 shares = $2.11

Shareholder cash flow = $2.11*150 shares = $316.5

3) In this case, capital structure is irrelevant because shareholders can create their own leverage or unlever the stock to create different capital structures. This has no connection with the capital structure that firm chooses.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The following is the cost of each unit:

Materials $ 36.00

Labor 14.00

Variable overhead 4.00

Fixed overhead ($1,890,000/105,000 units) 18.00

Total $ 72.00

Simpson Company has approached Andreasen with an offer to buy 8,000 thermostats for $60 each. The regular price is $100.

Simpson requires that each unit use its branding, which requires a more expensive label, resulting in an additional $2.00 per unit material cost. The Simpson order will also require a one-time rental of packaging equipment for $30,000.

Because this is a special offer and we have unused capacity, we will not have into account the fixed costs.

Costs:

Materials $ 36.00

Labor 14.00

Variable overhead 4.00

Label= 2

Total variable cost= $56

Total cost= 56*8000 + 30000= $478,000

B) Sales= 8000*60= $480,000

Costs= 478,000

Gross profit= 2,000

The offer is profitable.

C) break-even point= fixed costs/ contributionmargin= 30000/ (60-56)= 7500 units

The factor that would shift demand is the reduction in the price of laptops.

The equilibrium price and quantity would decrease.

<h3>What is the result of the policy?</h3>

When the price of laptops are reduced, the quantity demand for laptops would increase while the demand for computers would fall. This is because computers and laptops are substitute goods.

As a result of a fall in the demand for computers, the demand curve would shift to the left. Equilibrium price and quantity would fall.

Please find attached the required diagram. To learn more about the demand curve, please check: brainly.com/question/25140811

Bramble Corp. has $3960000 of 9% convertible bonds outstanding. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of $30 par value

natta225 [31]

Answer: Credit of $217480 to Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par

Explanation:

The following information is given in the question as:

Debit: Bonds payable = $1,250,000

Debit: Premium on bonds payable = $92480

Credit: Common stock = $1,125,000

Credit: Paid in capital in excess of Par = $217480

The above were calculated as:

Common stock = ($1250,000/$1,000) × 30 × 30

= $1250 × 90

= $1,125,000

% Conversion will be:

= $1,250,000 / $3960000 = 0.32

Unamortized bond premium will then be:

= 0.32 × $289,000

= $92,480

Paid in capital in excess of par will be:

= $1,250,000 + $92,480- $1,125,000

= $217,480

Therefore, the answer will be to

"Credit of $217480 to Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par"
