Answer:

B. All businesses will need a percentage of the market share to survive.

Explanation:

Businesses with small market shares can be successful, but a larger market share means more profit potential, lesser effort to sell more, and a stronger barrier against competitors entering the market. A business that is below the optimal level for market share should plan to develop its market share, while a business at the optimal level should plan to fight to maintain it.

<h3>What are capital budgeting techniques?</h3>

Capital budgeting techniques are capital investment evaluation tools.

Some of the capital budget tools include the Payback Period, Discounted Payment Period, Net Present Value, Proﬁtability Index, Internal Rate of Return, and Modiﬁed Internal Rate of Return.

These capital budgeting techniques help management to evaluate capital projects and to choose investment strategies.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Investment cost = RM600,000

Cost of capital = 12%

Net Cash Flows PV Factor Present Value

Year 0 RM600,000 1 (RM600,000)

Year 1 RM100,000 0.893 89,300

Year 2 110,000 0.797 87,670

Year 3 121,000 0.712 86,152

Year 4 133,100 0.636 84,652

Year 5 146,410 0.567 83,014

Year 6 RM400,000 0.507 202,800

Present value of cash flows = RM633,588

Net Present Value RM33,588

Total Net Cash Flows = RM1,010,510

Average Net Cash flows = RM168,418 (RM1,010,510/6)

Accounting Rate of Return = Average Income/Initial Cost

= 28% (RM168,418/RM600,000 x 100)

Payback period = 5 years

NPV = Initial Investment - PV of net cash flows

= RM33,588

Profitability Index = Present value of cash flows/Initial Cost

= 1.056 (RM633,588/RM600,000)

During 2019, Dowdy, a C corporation, realized a long-term capital gain of $8,000 from the sale of a tract of land, a short-term

postnew [5]

Answer:

The answer to the following question is $4000.

Explanation:

Dowdy which is a C corporation, has a total of $14,000 in capital gain, in which $8000 comes from sale of tract land and rest of $6000 comes from sale of stock. And the company also has a capital loss of $18,000. So here the company is having a long term capital loss of $4000 ( $18,000 - $14,000 ), and this C corporation can deduct this long term capital loss from their taxable income ( the year in which loss was incurred ) . If in a situation, loss is not deducted from this year , then it can be carried 3 years or 2 years or even 1 years back and if there is capital gain , it can be deducted from it.

Art [367]

Answer:

The contribution margin ratio can be calculated using either total amounts or per unit amounts.

Explanation:

Contribution margin ratio = $\frac{Contribution\:per\:unit}{Selling\:price\:per\:unit}$

This can even be done by $\frac{Total\:Contribution\:}{Total\:Sales}$

This will calculate contribution as a percentage of Sales, with this margin ratio we get break even sales value, and not the units.

Whenever there is an increase in variable cost it decreases the contribution.

A government deficit has increased from 30 to 50. The country's trade deficit is 100 and private savings equal 65 and investment

viva [34]

Answer:

If Ricardian neutrality holds true, after this change in the government's budget, private savings will equal 40.

Explanation:

S - I = X - M, where

S = Sp + Sg, where

Sp: private saving

Sg: Public saving = T - G

Sp + T - G - I = X - M

or,

Sp - I = (G - T) - (M - X) = Budget deficit - Trade deficit

Initially,

65 - 30 = 90 - 100 = - 10

When budget deficit falls to 50,

Sp - 90 = 50 - 100

Sp = - 50 + 90 = 40

Therefore, If Ricardian neutrality holds true, after this change in the government's budget, private savings will equal 40.
