If all firms only earn a normal profit in the long run, firms will develop new products or lower-cost production methods because they can innovate and possibly earn an economic profit in the short run.
Explanation:
Competition involves constant efforts by companies and executives to do more than the loss (normal gains) of new goods or by improving ways to manufacture current products at lower prices. Therefore, if businesses can invent, they will achieve short-term economic advantage.
Economic benefit encourages entry, economic losses lead to exit and firms in a highly profitable market earn little economic income in a long-term equilibrium. In an industry where inflation does not change the costs of materials (a market with a constant cost), the long-term supply curve is a horizontal line.
A. $625.71
619+619×0.13/12
Answer:
Year Cashflow [email protected]% PV
$ $
0 (750,000) 1 (750,000)
1 350,000 0.9259 324,065
2 325,000 0.8573 278,623
3 250,000 0.7938 198.450
4 180,000 0.7350 132,300
NPV 184,438
The correct answer is D. The difference in answers is due to rounding error.
Explanation:
Net present value is the diffrence between initial outlay and present value of inflow. We need to discount the cash inflows for year 1 to year 4 at 8% and then calculate the present value of cash inflows by multiplying the cash inflows by the discount factors. Finally, we will calculate NPV by deducting the initial outlay from the present value of cash inflows.
Answer:
$1.67 Million
Explanation:
Current asset = 15 Million
Current liabiltiy = 15 Million/3
= 5 Million
Let the inventory X can be purchased with short term debt without violation
per current ratio requirement
(15 + x)/5+x = 2.5
15 + x = 12.5 + 2.5x
2.5 = 1.5x
x = $1.67 Million
Therefore, $1.67 Million inventory can Baker purchase without violating its debt agreement if their total current assets equal $15 million
Answer:
B. Prepaid insurance is shown on the income statement
Explanation:
Prepaid insurance first and foremost is a current asset and as such will not reflect in the income statement but in the statement of Financial Position or Balance Sheet.
Although, prepaid insurance will be shown as paid within the year, it must be deducted from the insurance premium paid for the current year and then reported in the balance sheet as a current asset.
Prepaid insurance is treated as a current asset because it is an indication of insurance premiums paid for by the company in advance. It is a payment for economic benefits that will be enjoyed in the future, therefore it is a current asset. The only part of an insurance premium that shows in the income statement is the insurance expense paid for insurance benefit enjoyed in the current period
