Answer:

the correct option is c) change in the money wage and other resource prices does not shift the long run aggregate supply

Explanation:

First of all aggregate supply can be defined as the sum total of all the goods and services that are supplied in the economy during a defined period of time.

In the given question the option C is right because it is assumed that in the case of long run aggregate supply , the supply curve tends to remain static because any kind of change in the aggregate demand causes only temporary changes in the total output of the economy and the slope of the curve remains vertical. It is also assumed that the economy is being used at optimal as only factors like labor, capital, and technology can bring in aggregate supply.

Options a) and b) can't be true because if the supply curve is gonna shift , it is first going to shift in short run aggregate supply then long run aggregate supply , not the other way around.

Basile [38]

Answer:

Ryan takes the supplier representatives out for lunch and thanks them for being such great friends.

Explanation:

Ryan taking the supplier representatives out for lunch and thanking them for being such great friends is a less-than straightforward way of saying no and ending the working relationship.

From the supplier's perspective, Ryan taking the time to take them out on a lunch would suggest he's trying to show gratitude, so as to foster their existing business relationships.

On the other hand, coming to realize that it was his way of saying no and ending the working relationship between them would make the supplier representatives disappointed and making Ryan look less-than straightforward.

B. Acid-Test Ratio = 1.44

C. Debt to Assets Ratio 51.16%

D. Return on assets 5.81%

First step is to Calculate the Total Current Assets

Cash 40,000

Receivables 75,000

Inventory 95,000

Total Current Assets 210,000

Now let calculate Current Ratio

Current Ratio= Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Current Ratio=210,000/80,000

Current Ratio= 2.63

b Calculation for Acid-Test Ratio

Acid-Test Ratio=(Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities

Acid-Test Ratio =(210,000-95,000)/80,000

Acid-Test Ratio =115,000/80,000

Acid-Test Ratio = 1.44

Mortgage payable 140,000

Total Debt 220,000

Debt to Assets Ratio= Total Debt/ Total Assets

Debt to Assets Ratio=220,000/430,000

Debt to Assets Ratio= 51.16%

Park Company reports interest expense of $145,000 and income before interest expense and income taxes of $1,885,000. (1) Compute

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

(1) Park's times interest earned is 13.

(2) Park is in a BETTER position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad.

Explanation:

(1) Compute its times interest earned.

The times interest earned, also known as the interest coverage ratio, is a coverage ratio that calculates the proportionate amount of income that can be used to cover future interest expenses.

The times interest earned can be computed as follows:

Times interest earned = Income before interest expense and income taxes / Interest expense = $1,885,000 / $145,000 = 13

Therefore, Park's times interest earned is 13.

(2) Park's competitor's times interest earned is 4.0. Is Park in a better or worse position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad.

Because the ratio reveals how many times a company could pay interest with its pre-tax income, greater ratios are clearly better than lower ratios.

Since Park’s times interest earned of 13 is greater than its competitor’s times interest earned of 4, it therefore implies that Park is in a BETTER position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad.

Suppose you know that a company’s stock currently sells for $56 per share and the required return on the stock is 10 percent. Yo

Elenna [48]

Answer:

$2.8 divdends per share

Explanation:

$56 market price

Rate of return 10%

The gain for an investment in stocks is:

$\frac{DividendsYield+SharePriceVariation}{Investment} = $Return on Investemnt$

In this case we are told that this is distribute evenly, this means:

dividends paid = market price gain

So dividends yield 5% and market price yields another 5% to achieve the 10%

So currently $56 market price x 0.05% = $2.8 divdends per share
