Answer:

charged to maximize profits is 40.5

Explanation:

given data

P = 78 - 15 Q

Q = Q1 + Q2

MC1 = 3Q1

MC2 = 2Q2

solution

we get here first total revenue and marginal revenue that is

total revenue TR = P × Q   ............................1

total revenue TR = 78Q - 15Q²

so

marginal revenue MR = \frac{change\ in\ TR}{change\ in\ Q}    

marginal revenue MR = 78 - 30Q

and now we get here

marginal revenue MR = MC1 = MC2

put here value

78 - 30Q1 - 30Q2 = 3 Q1 or 33 Q1 = 78 - 30Q2   ......................................2

78 - 30 Q1 - 30 Q2 = 2 Q2 or Q2 = 78 - 30Q1/32   ...................................3

by equation 2 and 3  we get here

33 Q1 = 78 - 30 (78 -  \frac{30Q1}{32}  )

so here Q1 = 1 and

Q2 = 78 -  \frac{30\times 1}{32}

Q2 = 1.5

and here Q will be

Q = Q1 + Q2

Q = 1 + 1.5

Q = 2.5

so we get value of P that is

P = 78 - 15 Q

P = 78 - 15 (2.5)  

P = 40.5

so charged to maximize profits is 40.5

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

$30

Explanation:

Earning per share is calculated dividing Earning for the year excluding preferred dividend by outstanding number of shares.

Formula for EPS is as follow:

Earning Per share = ( Net Income  - Preferred Dividend ) / Outstanding Numbers of shares

We need to calculate the net Income, which is calculated as below

Net Income = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Financing costs = $50,000,000 - $40,000,000 - $5,000,000 - $2,000,000

Financing costs = $3,000,000

Placing Values in the formula of EPS

EPS = $3,000,000 / 100,000 shares = $30

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

5%

Explanation:

stock's Alpha = R - Rf - beta (Rm - Rf)

  • R represents the stock's return = $6/$25 = 24%
  • Rf = 6%
  • Beta = 1.3
  • Rm = 16%

Alpha = 0.24 - 0.06 - 1.3 (0.1) = 0.24 - 0.06 - 0.13 = 0.24 - 0.19 = 0.05 = 5%

A stock's Alpha is basically the excess return that the stock yields compared to an specific benchmark, e.g. S&P 500, Dow Jones.

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Debt-to-equity ratio is an economical term that is used to express the balance between a companies total debt and its assets. It shows at what ratio the company's assets are funded by investors, stakeholders etc.

Since the industry average debt-to-equity ratio is 0.80 and the two companies have debt-to-equity ratios of 1.00 and 1.50 respectively, they are both over the average.

But with the higher ratio, Carter Co. has a higher financial risk compared to Sunny Co. and the industry average debt-to-equity ratio. So the correct answer is C.

I hope this answer helps.
