Circular flow is a model of economy in which major exchanges are showed as flow of money, food, goods, services and etc between economic agents. In circular flow, the flows of money and goods exchanges in a closed circuit but runs oppositely. Circular flow analysis is the basis of national accounts.
Answer:
5
Explanation:
The formula to compute the interest coverage ratio is shown below:
= (Earning before tax + interest expense) ÷ (interest expense)
where,
Earning before tax equal to
= Net income ÷ (1 - tax rate)
= $120 ÷ (1 - 0.40)
= $200
And interest expense is $50
So, the interest coverage ratio equal to
= ($200 + $50) ÷ ($50)
= 5
Answer:
Option (a) and (b) are considered or correct.
Explanation:
Under the following two conditions, a firm in a perfectly competitive market produces at a point where the marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost:
(i) Minimum AVC < Price < minimum ATC : Yes
In this case, a firm may suffer a loss but it will be able to cover its minimum average variable cost. Hence, this firm continue operating in this market and if he shut down its operation then he may suffer a larger loss. Therefore, it chooses to continue operating under this market conditions.
(ii) Price > minimum ATC : Yes
In this case, the price received by the seller is greater than the minimum average total cost. Therefore, the firm is able to cover all of its cost of production and earning an economic profit. Hence, it obviously chooses to continue its operation.
The third option is not considered here because in this case, the firm won't be able to cover its variable cost.
Answer: Mixed
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Max Machining incurs the following utilities costs at different levels of production:
0 units: $120
500 units: $2,620
1,000 units: $5,120
How would utility costs be properly classified?
A) Curvilinear
B) Variable
C) Mixed
D) Fixed
E) Stepped
The utility cost here will be classified as a mixed cost. A mixed cost is a type of cost that has both fixed and variable cost. At 0 units, $120 was already spent. This shows that this cost is a fixed cost as it doesn't have anything to do with output. It'll still be paid regardless of the number of outputs while the other cost incurred are variable cost which is dependent on the number of outputs of goods.
Based on the explanation above, the answer is mixed cost.
Answer:
The answer is: The expected rate of return from this investment is 26.68%
Explanation:
We are given the following cash flows for this operation:
- Initial investment = -$24.50
- Cash flow 1 = $1.25 (dividend year 1)
- Cash flow 2 = $1.35 (dividend year 2)
- Cash flow 3 = $1.45 (dividend year 3)
- Cash flow 4 = $56.55 ($1.55 dividend year 4 + $55 stock's sales price)
Using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function:
=IRR(value 1: value 5) =26.68%
where
- value 1 = -24.50
- value 2 = 1.25
- value 3 = 1.35
- value 4 = 1.45
- value 5 = 56.55
