Answer:

50% share.

Explanation:

Given:

There are only three firms in a market.

The largest firm has sales of $500 million.

The second-largest has sales of $300 million.

The smallest has sales of $200 million.

Question asked:

The market share of the largest firm is ?

Solution:

As we know:

Market\ share=\frac{Total\ sales\ of\ the\ firm}{Total\ sales\ of\ the \ market} \times100

Total sales of the largest company = $500 million.

Total sales of the market = Sales of largest firm + Sales of second largest firm+ Sales of smallest firm

Total sales of the market = $500 million + $300 million + $200 million

                                          = $1000 million

Market\ share=\frac{Total\ sales\ of\ the\ firm}{Total\ sales\ of\ the \ market} \times100

                       =\frac{500}{1000} \times100\\ \\ =\frac{50000}{1000} \\ \\ =50\%

Therefore, the market share of the largest firm is 50%.

A rise in the domestic real interest rate would cause a ________ in net exports and a ________ in the exchange rate.
Kisachek [45]

A rise in the domestic real interest rate would cause a fall in net exports and a RISE  in the exchange rate.

In general, businesses and consumers spend less when interest rates are high. This is because borrowing money costs more when interest rates are high. As a result, companies frequently turn to the stock market to raise money, which can cause stock values to decline.

An increase in interest rates causes the local currency to appreciate. In comparison to domestic goods and services, import prices decline. Exports see a decline in profitability and competition. Exports decline while imports rise, reducing the net export portion of total demand and spending.

Builtrite's upper management has been comparing their books to industry standards and came up with the following question: Why i
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Builtrite has higher than average operating expenses

Explanation:

Subtracting cost of goods sold from net sales will give you gross profit. The reason of high gross profit could be company is able to sell its products at a higher price or it is able to keep its cost of goods sold at a lower level than industry standards.

A higher-than-industry-average gross profit margin increases your chances of generating a net profit provided that you are able to keep your expenses within industry average levels.

Operating profit is the pre-tax profit or in other words it is calculated by subtracting operating expenses from the gross profit. Operating profit margin is equal to operating income divided by the total revenue. A lower operating margin despite of having higher gross profit is because the company is not able to control its operating expenses or in other words they are incurring higher operating expenses as compare to industry.

Years                                     1                  2                  3

Cash Flows                      $5,600       $48,200      $125,000

Sale Proceeds                                                         $450,000

Net Cash Flows               $5,600       $48,200      $575,000

Discount Factor    14%    0.8772        0.7695        0.6750

Present values                 $4,912.32   $37,089.9    $388,125

Net present value of business idea = $4,912.32 + $37,089.9 + $388,125

NPV = 430,127.22

Basis  Particulars                                         Debit  Credit

Sale:-  Instalment Receivables  $5,000,000  

         Inventory                                               $3,200,000

 Deferred gross profit                                                  $1,800,000

Payment:-  Cash                         $4,90,000  

Instalment Receivables                                     $4,90,000

Deferred Gross profit                 $165,600  

Realised Gross profit                                              $165,600

Instalment Receivables ($5,000,000 minus $490,000) = $4,510,000

Deferred gross profit ($1,800,000 minus $165,600) = $1,634,400

Instalment Receivables (Net) = $2,875,600
