Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition is a market structure where there is a large number of producers selling differentiated products. These firms are price makers. There is very low or no restriction on the entry and exit of new firms.  

Positive economic profits earned by the existing firms will attract potential firms to enter the market. When new firms enter, it increases the supply in the market.  

This causes the price and market share of existing firms to decline. As the individual demand curves of the existing firms shift to the left, their profits will increase as well.

oneycutt Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 39,000 shares of stock and $108,000 in debt.
Mila [183]

Answer:

All equity plan:

EPS = $160,000 / 42,000 = $3.81

Plan I:

EPS = [$160,000 - ($108,000 x 7%)] / 39,000 = $152,440 / 39,000 = $3.91

Plan II:

EPS = [$160,000 - ($324,000 x 7%)] / 33,000 = $137,320 / 33,000 = $4.16

Plan II is better since the resulting EPS is higher than the other alternatives.

BigorU [14]

Answer:

$77,217

$11,289

Explanation:

Fist we will calculate the present value of $10,000 payment

A fix Payment for a specified period of time is called annuity. The discounting of these payment on a specified rate is known as present value of annuity. The value of the annuity is also determined by the present value of annuity payment.

Formula for Present value of annuity is as follow

PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]

Where

P = Annual payment = $10,000

r = rate of return = 10% / 2  = 5%

n = number of period = 5 years x 2 semiannual payments per year = 10 payments

PV of annuity = $10,000 x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 0.05 )^-10 ) / 0.05 ]

PV of Annuity = $77,217

Now we will use the discounting method to calculate the present value of lump sum payment of $20,000

Present value = Future value x Present value factor

PV = FV x ( 1 + r )^-n

PV = $20,000 x ( 1 + 0.1 )^-6

PV = $11,289

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

$120 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of minimum acceptable transfer price is shown below:-

If the division of the transferor does not have spare capacity, the minimum transfer price is equal to variable cost per unit and the contribution margin per unit

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost per unit + (Selling price to outside customers - Variable cost per unit)

= $72 + ($120 - $72)

= $72 + $48

= $120 per unit

Therefore for computing the minimum transfer price we simply applied the above formula.
