The language of price controls

Business
1 answer:
mel-nik [20]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1) The government prohibits gas stations from selling gasoline for more than $3.40 per gallon.  

This statement is an example of price ceiling as the gas stations cannot raise their price above $3.40 but can sell it at any price lower than the ceiling price of $3.40. This is binding

2) Due to new regulations, gas stations that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so. This is neither a price ceiling or floor as government isn't directly affecting the price with their policy

3) The government has instituted a legal minimum price of $3.40 per gallon for gasoline. This is an example of price floor and is binding. The reason it is a price floor is because the petrol stations cannot charge a price below $3.40 but can charge any price above the floor price of $3.40

pryor frosted flakes company offers its customers a pottery cereal bowl if they send in 4 boxtops from flakes boxes and $1.00. T
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: $30,000

Explanation:

Company estimates that 60% of boxtops will be redeemed.

They sold 500,000 boxes

= 500,000 * 60%

= 300,000 boxtops will be sent in.

So far, 220,000 have been sent in. How many left;

= 300,000 - 220,000

= 80,000 boxtops are still to be sent in

4 boxtops are needed to receive a pottery bowl so with 80,000;

= 80,000/4

= 20,000 pottery bowls are due to be issued.

Each bowl costs $2.50 to make.  Customers will send in $1 however so effectively it will cost the company;

= 2.50 - 1

= $1.50

With 20,000 still left to be issued, each costing $1.50, the total liabilitiy for outstanding premiums to be recorded at the end of 2007 is;

= 20,000 * 1.5

= $30,000

McGlothin Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's payback?Year 0 1 2 3Cash fl
telo118 [61]

Answer:

c. 2.30 years

Explanation:

In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:

In year 0 = $1,150 (Initial investment)

In year 1 = $500

In year 2 = $500

In year 3 = $500

If we sum the first 2 year cash inflows than it would be $1,000

Now we deduct the $1,000 from the $1,150 , so the amount would be $150 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it

And, the next year cash inflow is $500

So, the payback period equal to

= 2 years + ($150 ÷ $500)

= 2.30 years

In 2.30 yeas, the invested amount is recovered.
