Cheap steel, Henry Bessemer invented a way to sell and make steel for a cheaper price.
This was helpful enough to make other things for a cheaper price because of how cheap steel was
Answer:
a. what is Suncoast's current debt ratio?
debt ratio = liabilities / equity = $400,000 / $600,000 = 0.67
b. what would the new debt ratio be if the machine were leased? if it is purchased?
if X-ray machine is leased, debt ratio = $400,000 / $600,000 = 0.67
if X-ray machine is purchased, debt ratio = $600,000 / $600,000 = 1
c. is the financial risk of the business different under the two acquisition alternatives?
yes, because a higher debt ratio means that the company is under a higher financial stress since it has more outstanding loans, which increases the financial risk.
Answer:
In periods of inflation, LIFO will result in the lowest reported net income, and therefore a company will pay less in federal income taxes ⇒ TRUE STATEMENT
Explanation:
Last in, first out (LIFO) uses the price of the last units purchased in order to determine the cost of goods sold. When inflation is high, prices tend to increase continuously, therefore, the price of the last units purchased will always be higher than the price of the first units purchased. This doesn't mean that exactly the last units purchased will be the ones sold, it is just an accounting method.
<span>Disposable income is defined as any and all income that one has less the taxes and other mandatory payments one must make. In Julio's case, this would be the $30,000 he has earned less the $5,000 he pays in taxes yearly. The rent and utilities would not be considered, leaving a disposable income value of $25,000.</span>
Answer:
e. price elasticities of demand for apples and oranges are the same over these price ranges
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.
Price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Percentage change in price = (50-40) / 50 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%
Percentage change in quantity demanded of Apples = (120 - 100) / 100 = 0.2 × 100 =
20%
Percentage change in quantity demanded of oranges = (240 - 200) / 200 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%
Price elasticity of demand for oranges = 20% / 20% = 1
Price elasticity of demand for Apples = 20% / 20% = 1
When coefficient of elasticity is equal than one, elasticity of demand is unit elastic.
This implies that the elasticity of demand for Apples and oranges are the same. A change in the price of oranges and apples would lead to the same proportional change for each of the demand for Apples and oranges.
