Answer:

The differential loss from the lease alternative would be -$69,900

Explanation:

In order to calculate  the differential income or loss from the lease alternative we would have to make the following calculations:

                                                    Alternative I ( Sale)   Alternative II ( Lease)

                                                                 

Sale proceeds net of commission   $354,900  

Total lease rentals                                                       $515,000

Property taxes and insurance                               ($230,000)

Net proceeds                                  $354,900                $285,000

Difference loss from the lease alternative would be - $69,900

The differential loss from the lease alternative would be -$69,900

mote1985 [20]

Answer: We have no legal responsibility but do have some ethical responsibility.

Explanation: As the owner of a casino we do not have any legal liability but as human and a part of society we do have to make sure that gambling in such casinos is not ruining the environment for the individuals living in it.

We have the responsibility towards the kids especially. We must make sure that kids stay away from such casinos as no one knows at an early age of what is right for them and what is not.

We can make rules about the maximum amount of which one can gamble and should monitor strictly of any other unethical conduct that is going on.

What is the relationship of a single firm's demand curve in a purely competitive industry?
pav-90 [236]
Pure competition or perfect competition is where all firms have full knowledge of what is going on in the market, where there is free flow of information between not only the producers, but also with the consumers.

As such, all firms have no dominant share of market power since each individual firm is able to produce the good of the same quality and quantity (factors of production are fluid, and no costs in transportation in this theory). And at the same time, consumers have full knowledge of the quality of good they are getting and hence no firm will be able to exploit the misinformation of a good for its own profits.

This builds up to the point of a perfectly elastic demand curve, where consumers know what amount and at which price point do they value the product at. And knowing for the fact that small individual firms in a purely competitive firm have no say over prices, they become the price takers for this kind of market. Thus where MB=MC, the equilibrium point is reached and it is also at the socially optimal level since all consumers have full knowledge of the pros and cons of consuming a product (hence no externalities).

Hope this helps!<span />

The beginning and ending balances of retained earnings for the year were $55,000 and $82,000, respectively. If dividend payments
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

$35,000

Explanation:

We can use the following simple formula:

Beginning retained earnings balance = Ending retained earnings balance − Net Income + Dividends

Therefore,

Net Income = Ending retained earnings balance -  Beginning retained earnings balance + Dividends

Net Income = $82,000 - $55,000 + $8,000

Net Income = $35,000.

Therefore, net income is equal to $35,000.

The outstanding bonds of Riverside Tires Inc. provide a real rate of return of 5.6 percent. If the current rate of inflation is
Leya [2.2K]

Answer: 10.54%

Explanation:

The Real rate of return is calculated as;

(1 + Real Rate) = (1 + Nominal Rate) / (1 + Inflation Rate)

1 + 0.056 = ( 1 + n) / ( 1 + 0.0468)

1.056 = (1 + n) / 1.0468

1.1054208‬ = 1 + n

n = 0.1054208

n = 10.54%
