Answer:

a. keep producing in the short run but exit the market in the long run.

Explanation:

To answer the question, there is a need to look at the effect of the situation on the firm both in the short- run and the long-run

Short Run Effect

The Marginal cost is between average variable cost and average total cost. The business can still continue producing goods because the quantity being produced is still able to cover the average variable cost. This means that the firm is still able meet its variable costs by setting the price of its goods to its marginal cost which is an amount greater than its average variable cost.  

Long Run Effect

However, in the long-run the company will begin to have issues even meeting other important costs such as the fixed costs associated with production and as such, the firm will need to exit the market in the long run. For instance the cost of long term loans (principal and interest) may not be covered by the net income of the firm.

The actual and standardized budgets will be equal when: 
A. The rate of inflation is zero
B. The economy is at full employment
C
alexira [117]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is B) the economy is at full employment.

Explanation:

Standardized budget which is also know as full employment budget , is used to measure the federal budget deficit or surplus , with the given tax rates and government spending. Here the assumption made is that the economy has full employment, and this is one of the major difference between standardized and actual budget . Also standardized budget would reflect any type of adjustment that has to be made in the actual budget. So therefore the only way that actual budget and standardized budget are equal is when they both have full employment present in the economy.

Wesimann Co. issued 12-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 7.2 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments and have a par
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$1,138.92

Explanation:

Current bond price can be calculated present value (PV) of cash flows formula below:

Current price or PV of bond = C{[1 - (1 + i)^-n] ÷ i} + {M × (1 + i)^-n} ...... (1)

Where:

Face value = $1,000

r = coupon rate = 7.2% annually = (7.2% ÷ 2) semiannually = 3.6% semiannually

C = Amount of semiannual interest payment = Face value × r

C = $1,000 × 3.6% = $36

n = number of payment periods remaining = (12 - 1) × 2 = 22

i = YTM = 5.5% annually = (5.5% ÷ 2) semiannually = 2.75% semiannually  = 0.0275 semiannually

M = value at maturity = face value = $1,000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV of bond = 36{[1 - (1 + 0.0275)^-22] ÷ 0.0275} + {1,000 × (1 + 0.0275)^-22}

PV of bond = $1,138.92.

Therefore, the current bond price is $1,138.92.
