Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

An oligopoly market is a form of imperfect competition where there are a few firms. These firms can produce identical or differentiated products. Because of a few firms in the market, there is a high degree of competition in the market.

These firms are interdependent such that the economic decisions of a firm affect its rivals. So each firm has to consider the reaction of its rivals before making decisions.

The firms are price makers and face a downward-sloping demand curve.

One of your customers is delinquent on his accounts payable balance. You’ve mutually agreed to a repayment schedule of $500 per

jekas [21]

Answer: Number of months = 66.87 months

Explanation:

Given that,

Monthly Payment = $500

Interest rate(r) = 1.95% per month

Current Balance = $18,500

Number of months(t) = ?

$Current\ balance = Monthly\ payment\times(\frac{1-present\ value\ factor}{r})$

$Current\ balance = Monthly\ payment\times(\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+r)^{t}} }{r})$

$18,500 = 500\times(\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+0.0195)^{t}} }{0.0195})$

$\frac{18,500}{500}\times0.0195=1-\frac{1}{1.0195^{t} }$

$\frac{1}{1.0195^{t}}=1-0.7215$

$1.0195^{t}=\frac{1}{0.2785}$

$1.0195^{t}=3.5906$

Taking log on both side

t log(1.0195) = log(3.5906)

$t = \frac{0.5551}{0.0083}$

t = 66.87 months

Tech distractions do not include answer your phone while driving changing the radio station while driving fiddling with air-cond

Inessa [10]

<h2>The given statement is false. </h2>

Explanation:

If the driver has set the phone to "do not disturb" then definitely the notification that he gets through various apps will be kept silent, calls will reach voice mail and we will be notified with missed calls and our screen will be blank when the call is received. But this do not disturb mode does not control the air-conditioning of the car or blocking the driver from changing the radio station.

It is found from a survey that the road accidents are more when the mobile usage of the driver is more. Many drivers though they know about the consequences, they still use mobile phones while driving.

Erin Shelton, Inc., wants to earn a target profit of $960,000 this year. The company’s fixed costs are expected to be $1,320,000

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1. Break-even sales = $2,200,000

2. Net Income = $0

3. Sales = $3,800,000

4. See explanation section

5. Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety (%) = 42.11%

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

We know,

Break-even sales = Fixed expense ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $2,200,000

Requirement 2.

Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue $2,200,000 (Requirement 1)

Less: Variable expense (40% of sales) 880,000

Contribution Margin $1,320,000

Less: Fixed Expense 1,320,000

Net operating Income 0

In break-even sales, total fixed expense = total contribution margin, therefore, no income or loss.

Requirement 3.

We know,

This year, To attain profit, sales = (Fixed expense + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Target Profit = $960,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = ($1,320,000 + $960,000) ÷ 60%

To attain profit, sales = $2,280,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000

Requirement 4.

Using To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000 (From Requirement 3) to find the net operating income

Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue $3,800,000 (Requirement 3)

Less: Variable expense (40% of sales) 1520,000

Contribution Margin $2,280,000

Less: Fixed Expense 1,320,000

Net operating Income $960,000

Requirement 5.

We know,

Margin of safety = (Current sales - Break-even sales)

From Requirement 1, we get, Break-even sales = $2,200,000

From Requirement 3, we get, Current sales = $3,800,000

Margin of safety = $3,800,000 - $2,200,000

Therefore, Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety as percentage = [(Current sales - Break-even sales) ÷ Current sales] × 100

Margin of safety = ($1,600,000 ÷ $3,800,000) × 100

or, Margin of safety = 0.42105 × 100

Margin of safety = 42.11%
