Answer:

The difference is in how they response to the level of production of the firm.

Variable cost are directly associated with the production level, therefore changes with the number of units produced.

Fixed costs do not change with the level of production and remains fixed. Usually, fixed cost changes with the time.

Periodic Costs are the costs that cannot be capitalised and are incurred for a period of time. Such as administrative costs.

baherus [9]

Answer:

NPV: $180,285.49

IRR: 21.336%

simple rate of return: 72.13%

Explanation:

6,100,000 investment

contribution margin 3,000,000

fixed expense: 900,000

EBITA 2,100,000

We will calculate the NPV without the depreciation, as the depreciation is the distribution of the investment cost over the project life.

If we include the depreciation we will be counting the investment amount twice. Entirely at Time 0 and then subtracting on each cash inflow.

We will calculate the NPV at 20% as is the company's discount rate. Even if the current division returns are in 24% as the company accepts project which yields 20%.

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 2,100,000

time 5 years

rate 20% = 20/100 = 0.2

$2100000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.2)^{-5} }{0.2} = PV\\$

PV $6,280,285.49

NPV = PV of cash inflow - investment

6,280,285.49 - 6,100,000 = 180,285.49

the IRR:

The internal rate of return is the rate at which the NPV of a priject is zero.

We calculate this using excel formula IRR

or a financial calculator

it could also be done with trial and error using the PV tables.

I will explain you in Excel

FIrst, you write the inflow and outflow per year:

-6,100,000

2,100,000

then we write on another cell:

=IRR(

then, select the cells

and press enter

21.336%

the simple rate of return:

(total return - investment) / investment

(2,100,000 x 5 - 6,100,000) / 6,100,000 =

4,400,000 / 6,100,000 = 0.721311475 = 72.13%

Answer:

C) Quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a surplus will result

Explanation:

Price floor is the least amount a good or service can be sold. A price floor is usually set above equilibrium price.

When a price floor is enacted, it usually discourages demand because prices are usually set higher and encourages supply.

As a result, quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a surplus will result.

miskamm [114]

Answer:$9,000

Explanation:

The tax credit offered to adoptive parents to encourage adoption is reffered to as ADOPTION TAX CREDIT. The adoption tax credit is a nonrefundable tax credit. This means that people owing taxes are also fit or qualified to apply for the adoption tax credit.

In the United States of America, adoption tax credit qualified expenses include court costs, traveling expenses, lawyer's or Attorney's fee and other expenses for legal adoption of an eligible child.

It can be calculated by subtracting

the max's employer provided for the couple with adoption benefits of $4,000 from the incurred expenses of a total of $13,000 in qualified adoption expenses(from the question).

That is; $13,000-$4,000.

= $9,000.

Hence, the maximum amount of adoption credit they can take this year is $9,000.
