The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to 19.16%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the the simple rate of return on the investment we would have to use the following formula:

simple rate of return = <u>Annual incremental net operating income</u>

Initial investment

<u />

Initial investment = Cost of the new machine - salvage value of old machine

Initial investment = $384,000 - $24,000 = $360,000

Annual cost savings = $133,000

Annual depreciation = $384,000/6 = $64,000

Therefore, Annual incremental net operating income = $133,000 - $64,000 = $69,000

Therefore, simple rate of return = $69,000 / $360,000 = 19.16%

The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to 19.16%

Since the market is in long run equilibrium, the demand = the supply of haircuts, and an increase in the quantity demanded will increase the equilibrium price in the short run, generating economic profits at least until more suppliers enter the market and long run equilibrium is established again. Economic profit doesn't exist when the market is at long run equilibrium.

*Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit costs. So economic profit being $0 in the long run doesn't mean the businesses are not making an accounting profit.

ella [17]

Answer:

The answers are : Stable financial system; Strategic location; High literacy rate.

Explanation:

Singapore is a small island, highly populated country without much natural resources and little resources are paid to agricultural sector and energy sector thus lack of self-sufficiency in regard to water, food (due to limited land, lack of water supply and high labor cost). Currently, more than 40% of the country's water consumption are exported from Malaysia.

However, thanks to its strategic location lying in the center of the trade flow between the America, Europe, Middle East - Africa and Asia and the heart of Asia; its stable financial system which is one of the financial centers of Asia and the world due to its pretty open economy; its highly-educated citizens ( according to UNESCO Singapore literacy rate has been going up from nearly 83% in 1980 to more than 97% in 2018), the country is among one of the most prosperous countries in the world.
