1 answer:
AnnyKZ [126]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Producers

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition is a form of market competition where different producers produce goods that are largely different from each other and can not even been used as a perfect substitute for one another.

This gives each producer the opportunity  to decide its prices and output . Prices are always set higher than the marginal costs and the consumer surplus are less compared to a perfectly competitive market , making monopoly competition an imperfect market.

Compare investment alternatives You have two investment opportunities. One will have an 8% rate of return on an investment of $1
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

15%

Explanation:

The maximum rate of return that would be paid to borrow an additional $4,000 needed can be calculated as

Rate of return =\frac{Amount of interest}{Amount borrowed}

Rate of return = $600/$4000

Rate of return = 0.15 or 15%

NOTE: The amount of interest is the difference of interest earned at higher yield and interest earned at a lower yield.

Interest earned (higher yield) = $10,000 x 8%

Interest earned (higher yield) = $800

Interest earned (lower yield) = $14,000 x 10%

Interest earned (lower yield) = $1,400

Difference = $1,400-$800

Difference = $600

The pretax cost of debt: Group of answer choices Is based on the current yield to maturity of the firm's outstanding bonds. Is e
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Is based on the current yield to maturity of the firm's outstanding bonds.

Explanation:

The cost of debt is the interest a company pays on its borrowers. It is expressed as a percentage rate. The cost of debt can be calculated as before-tax rate or an after-tax rate. Most of the time, the cost of debt is the before-tax rate of the cost of debt because that is how the company's cost of debt is calculated. <em>That calculation implies considering the average interest paid on all the company's debts, including outstanding bonds.</em>

Use the following information to answer next three questions: IO PI IRR LIFEProject 1 $300,000 1.12 14.38% 15 yearsProject 2 $15
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Project 1

Explanation:

                    IO          PI    IRR       LIFE

Project 1 $300,000 1.12 14.38% 15 years

Project 2 $150,000 1.08 13.32% 6 years

Project 3 $100,000 1.20 16.46% 3 years

Assume that the cost of capital is 12%.

We should invest in  the projects that have the highest profitability index (PI) first.

PI = present value of project's cash flows / initial outlay

Projects with a high PI should also have high IRRs and this applies to this situation:

  1. Project 3 has a PI of 1.2 and an IRR of 16.46%
  2. Project 1 has a PI of 1.12 and an IRR of 14.38%
  3. Project 2 has a PI of 1.08 and an IRR of 13.32%

If the protects weren't mutually exclusive and the company had enough money for the 3 of them, then it should invest in all of them. But that is not the case, here, since the company has to decide in which project it will invest (only 1 project). The first option should be project 3, but since it cannot be repeated, and its life is short, I would go for project 1.

Besides, it is the only possible answer since you have to choose only 1 project (remember projects are mutually exclusive).
