Answer:

b. 90

Explanation:

The concentration ratio is a term in business that is measured as the total summation of the market share percentage carried by the largest specified number of companies in an industry. The concentration ratio varies between 0% to 100%, and an industry's concentration ratio is considered to demonstrates the extent of competition in the industry.

However, the four-firm concentration ratio is calculated by summing the market shares—that is, the percentage of total sales—of the four largest companies in the given market.

Hence, in this case, we have 35%, 30%, 15% and 10% as the top four largest market share. There by, summation equals => 35+30+15+10 = 90.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

90 (b.)

Explanation:

A concentration ratio is the ratio of the combined market shares percentage held by the largest specified number of firms, compared to the given market size. The concentration ratio ranges from 0% to 100%. If the concentration ratio of an industry ranges from 0% to 50%, that industry is said to be perfectly competitive if the top 5 firms have a concentration ratio of 60% or more, oligopoly is said to occur, and if the competition ratio of one company is 100% it shows monopoly.

In our example, the concentration of the largest four market segments are:

35%, 30%, 15% and 10%

Therefore, the four firm market concentration ratio = 35 + 30 + 15 + 10 = 90

What is the irr of an investment that costs $18,500 and pays $5,250 a year for 5 years?
saveliy_v [14]

The Internal rate of return (IRR) of an investment is found to be 13%.

<h3>What is Internal rate of return (IRR)?</h3>

The internal rate of return (IRR) is a financial analysis metric used to estimate the profitability of possible investments.

  • In a discounted cash flow analysis, IRR is a discount rate that renders the net present value (NPV) among all cash flows equal to zero.
  • IRR calculations employ the same method as NPV calculations.
  • Keep in mind that the IRR is not the project's actual dollar value.
  • The annual return is what brings the NPV to zero.

Now, according to the question;

Total investment = $18,500.

Returns = $5,250/year

Time = 5 years

Use the formula for calculation of IRR value.

$18,500 = $5,250 {[1 - 1/(1 + IRR)5] / IRR}

Simplyfying,

IRR = 12.92%

Therefore, the internal rate of returns are calculated as 13% (approximately).

The student is very unrespectful in his writing

I would be sort of surprised from this email because it is written in a way where I most likely wouldn't be used to.

Based on the email, I would think this student is irresponsible and/or doesn't care enough about the work. He's only half committed to it.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

SHEILA

Explanation:

A person has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people.

Sheila's opportunity cost in producing berries = 10/40 = 0.25

Jim's opportunity  cost in producing berries = 8/24 = 0.33

Sheila has a lower opportunity cost in the production of berries and thus has a comparative advantage in the production of berries

sammy [17]

Answer:

Deprecation base=$26,300

Explanation:

Given Data:

Cost of machine=$28,000

Tax=$125

Fees=$200

Shipping charges=$500

Paid to contractor to build and wire a platform for the machine=$475

Salvage value=$3000

Useful life = 6 years

Required:

Depreciation base of Cominsky's new machine=?

Solution:

Deprecation base=Acquisition Cost-Salvage Value

Acquisition Cost:

It is the cost which involves the buying of asset and making the asset to work. In our case:

Acquisition Cost=Cost of machine+Tax+Fees+Shipping charges+Paid to contractor to build and wire a platform for the machine

Acquisition Cost=$28,000+$125+$200+$500+$475

Acquisition Cost=$29300

Deprecation base=Acquisition Cost-Salvage Value

Deprecation base=$29300-$3000

Deprecation base=$26,300
