In economics an externality is the cost or benefit that affects someone who did not choose this. It is the true cost of a product that can be both positive or negative. Pollution can be an example of this. An educated labor force producing more is a positive example of this. The government rewards positive externality and punishes negative externality. Rewards can be surpluses and taxes can be punishments.

N76 [4]

Answer:

Animeat should access a flexible line of credit.

Explanation:

While it is common knowledge that businesses including those that are profitable would at one time or another have cash flow problems, yet it is pertinent for business owners and managers to always plan ahead against lack or shortage of cash flow as such could lead to total collapse of the business or customers/suppliers loss.

With regard to the above scenario, I would suggest Animeat access a flexible line of credit like invoice finance,overdraft facilities or short term business loan etc, inorder to meet up with it's food supply when the time comes. This would give the business quick access to funds/cash hence cushion the effect of cash flow problem during the predicted time.

The most important source of finance is to find the one that suit the business need and in which interest payment will be seamless so that available cash will not be depleted.

The following information pertains to the three divisions of Merrymount Company: Division X Division Y Division Z Sales ? ? 1,25
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The average operating assets for Division Y = $125,000

Explanation:

Divisions                                     Y

Sales                                           ?

Net Operating Income           25,000

Average operating assets         ?

Return on Investment               20%

Margin                                       0.05

Turnover                                      ?

Target ROI                                  12%

Since we need average operating assets for division Y, we include those.

We know,

Return on Investment = Net Operating Income/ Average operating assets.

Return on investment is the ratio that is used to measure the company's profitability by using the efficient use of operating assets.

Therefore,

20% = $25,000/Average operating assets

Average operating assets x 20% = $25,000

Average operating assets = $25,000/20%

Average operating assets = $25,000/0.20

Average operating assets = $125,000
