Answer:

When the minimum wage rate is increased by the government by intervention, this means that the coffee company now has to pay more salaries to the employees/workers of the coffee shop. Since cost cutting is one of the main areas of focus of every other company, the coffee shop would try to lay off its workers and that would ultimately result in unemployment. For example, if the coffee shop was paying $50 in total to 10 workers($5 per worker), now as per the new regulation it would still pay $50 in total but to only 7 workers($7 per worker), this means that the coffees shop has unemployed 3 workers due to this. Hence the demand would still be the same for the coffee shop as caffeine is a necessity for the software engineers who work long. Other than that, the supply would also be not really affected but the equilibrium point can be affected as the coffee shop can raise the price of coffee due to the minimum wage payment to its workers.

Hope you understand the point here. Good Luck.

9. Problems and Applications Q9 Suppose that a borrower and a lender agree on the nominal interest rate to be paid on a loan. Th
den301095 [7]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.

If the nominal interest rate was made with inflation in mind and this inflation is less than anticipated, the real rate will be higher not lower than expected.

For instance: Assume the nominal rate is 8% and the two parties assumed inflation would be 4%. Real rate would be:

= 8 - 4 = 4%

If inflation is instead 2%, real rate would be:

= 8 - 2 = 6%

Real rate would be higher than anticipated.

LeCompte Corp. has $312,900 of assets, and it uses only common equity capital (zero debt). Its sales for the last year were $620
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

LeCompte Corp.

The profit margin that LeCompte Corp. would need in order to achieve the 15% ROE, holding everything else constant is:

A) 7.57%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Assets = $312,900

Common Equity = Assets = $312,900

Sales for the last year = $620,000

Net income after taxes = $24,655

Expected return on equity (ROE) = 15%

ROE (in amount) =  $312,900 * 15% = $46,935

Profit margin = Returns on Equity/ Sales * 100

= $46,935/$620,000 * 100

= 7.57%

b) The expected returns on equity in dollars is equal to the net income.  Therefore, we can use the ROE to calculate the profit margin.  The profit margin expresses the relationship between sales and profit.  It shows the profit made from each dollar sales.
