Nicole is a calendar-year taxpayer who accounts for her business using the cash method. On average, Nicole sends out bills for a

BigorU [14]

Answer:

a) I guess that Nicole bills $12,000 per month, not $512,000.

Assuming that the last time Nicole billed her customers was November, she was able to collect $11,760 before the year ended. I will also assume that the remaining $240 are uncollectible.

If Nicole postpones billing her customers during December, her taxable income as a cash basis taxpayer will decrease by $12,000 x 70% = $8,400

she will be able to save $8,400 x 2% = $168 in current taxes, but she will have to pay them next year anyways.

b) The time value of money should affect Nicole's calculations because she is saving the interests that could be earned by $168 in 1 year. We are not given any specific interest rate but we could use 6% as an example. Nicole will gain $168 x 6% = $10.08

But she will also lose potential interests earned on the $8,400 that she billed later. Using the same interest rate, 6%, she will lose $8,400 x 6% x 1/12 (only 1 month) = $42.

That means that the net result from this = $10.08 - $42 = -$31.92.

As you can see, Nicole is losing money. The higher the interest rate, the more money she will lose.

c) The risk of increasing uncollectible accounts will always exist. Nicole already has around 2% of uncollectible accounts, and combining two bills at one time might lead to a higher percentage of uncollectible accounts. Of course, this depends on her clients, but the risk will increase a little bit or a lot, but it will increase.

If Good C increases in price by 30% a pound, and this causes the quantity demanded for Good D to increase by 40%, what is the cr

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1.3

Explanation:

Given:

If Good C increases in price by 30% a pound.

This causes the quantity demanded for Good D to increase by 40%.

Question asked:

What is the cross-price elasticity of the two goods ?

Solution:

We can find the cross-price elasticity of the two goods by this formula:

$E_{c} = \frac{ Percent\ change\ in \a \ quantity \ of \ good \ D}{Percent \ change\ in\ the\ price\ of \ good\ C}$

$E_{c} = \frac{40}{30}= 1.3$

When Good C increases in price by 30% which causes the quantity demanded for Good D to increase by 40%, then the cross-price elasticity of the is Good C and Good D is 1.3.

Mila [183]

Answer: Diversifies risk

Explanation:

The main purpose of having a portfolio is to be able to diversify risk so that a total loss is not made if things do not go well. As such, well diversified portfolios are able to reduce their unsystematic risk.

Individual stock on the other hand, cannot be diversified and so have unsystematic risk which makes their standard deviations(risk) higher.
