Answer:

False

Explanation:

The bargaining power of suppliers (Term of Michael Porter) is a force that shapes the competitive structure of a market.

It represents the way of put pressure by raising the prices or lowering the quality or quantity of the product. This power makes the buyer profits decrease.

In your case, this is a policy set to the customer, and it is not increasing the price, decreasing quantity or lowering the quality.

It is more policy to induct loyalty from the customer to purchase again from the grocery store.

Answer:

$52

$ 1.33

  • consumer price will increase
  • consumer surplus will decrease
  • import will decrease
  • reduced export
  • portends gloom for the general outlook for the economy

Explanation:

Given domestic demand curve, S(p) = 20p⁻⁰°⁵

the domestic supply curve S(p)= 5p⁰°⁵

world price is ​$7.00

using  calculus to determine the changes in consumer​ surplus

by consumer surplus means in this case supply exceeds demand

we establish the equilibrium point where the supply and demand functions meet or are equal

solving 20p⁻⁰°⁵ = 5p⁰°⁵

     20/5 = p⁰°⁵/p⁻⁰°⁵

       4 = p⁰°⁵⁺⁰°⁵

      4= p = q which is the quantity produced

     

consumer surplus =  maximum price willing to pay - Actual price

                             = ∫⁴₀  dp dp - p* q

                               =  ∫⁴₀20p⁻⁰°⁵ dp- 7* 4

                              = 20∫⁴₀p⁻⁰°⁵ dp -28

                              = 20/0.5 p⁰°⁵- 28

                              = 40 *4⁰°⁵ - 28 =  $52

producer surplus = it is a measure of producer welfare. It is measured as the difference between what producers are willing and able to supply a good for and the price they actually receive

thus  producer  surplus = p* q - ∫⁴₀  d(s) dp

                                         = 7 * 4 - ∫⁴₀  5p⁰°⁵  dp

                                         = 28 - 5 ∫⁴₀   p⁰°⁵    dp

                                         = 28 -5 *2/3  p¹°⁵  

                                          = 28 -5 *2/3  4¹°⁵

                                          =$ 1.33

  • consumer price will increase
  • consumer surplus will decrease
  • import will decrease
  • reduced exports
  • portends gloom for the general outlook for the economy

A corporate bond has a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 9.5%. The bond matures in 12 years and has a current market pri
joja [24]

Answer:

5.71%

Explanation:

The after tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-t)

where t is the tax rate of 35% or 0.35

pretax cost of debt=yield to maturity

The yield to maturity can be determined using rate formula in excel as below:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of coupon interest payable by the bonds i.e 12 coupons in 12 years

pmt is the annual coupon=$1000*9.5%=$95

pv is the current market price-flotation cost=$1,100-$48=$1052

fv is the face value of $1000

=rate(12,95,-1052,1000)=8.78%

After tax cost of debt=8.78% *(1-0.35)=5.71%

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

0.9717 per unit sold (approx)

Explanation:

Here, we are assuming 52 weeks in a year.

Contribution margin:

= (Sales revenue - variable cost) ÷ sales revenue

= [(3.52 × 10 + 3.52 × 0.18 × 540 × 52) - (3.52 × 0.26 × 551)] ÷ (3.52 × 10 + 3.52 × 0.18 × 540 × 52)

=  [(35.2 + 17,791) - (504)] ÷ (35.2 + 17,791)

= [17,826.2 - 504] ÷ 17,826.2

= 17,322.2 ÷ 17,826.2

= $0.9717 per unit sold (approx)

Klose Outfitters Inc. believes that its optimal capital structure consists of 60 percent common equity and 40 percent debt, and
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

WACC 10.38305%

Explanation:

<em><u>First we solve for the source of financing:</u></em>

Expansion: 5,900,000

60% Equity: 3,540,000

Retained Earnins 2,000,000

then 1,540,000 will be common equity

40% debt: 2,360,000 It can raise up to 3,000,000 so it will be sufficient

D  2,360

E  1,540

RE 2000

V  5,900

Now we can solve for Weighted average cost of capital

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+RE+D}) + K_{re}(\frac{P}{E+RE+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+RE+D})

Ke 0.15

Equity weight 0.261016949 (1,540,000 / 5,900,000)

Kre 0.12

RE Weight  0,338983  (2,000,000 / 5,900,000)

Kd 0.1

Debt Weight 0.4 ( 2,360,000 / 5,900,000)

t 0.4

WACC = 0.15(0.261016949152542) + 0.12(0.338983050847458) + 0.1(1-0.4)(0.4)

WACC 10.38305%

Mount Company incurred a total cost of $8,600 to produce 400 units of pulp. Each unit of pulp required 5 direct labor hours to c
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (B).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Total cost = $8,600

Total units = 400 Units

Direct labor hour per unit = 5

Variable cost = $1.50

So, we can calculate the fixed cost by using following formula:

Fixed cost = Total cost - Total Direct labor cost

Where, Total direct labor cost = $1.50 × 5 × 400 = $3,000

By putting the value in the formula, we get

Fixed cost = $8,600 - $3,000

= $5,600
