Please see options missing from the original question :

A. rent the room because the marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost.

B. rent the room because the marginal benefit exceeds the average cost.

C. not rent the room because the marginal benefit is less than the marginal cost.

D. not rent the room because the marginal benefit is less than the average cost.

Answer:

A. rent the room because the marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost.

Explanation:

Although , the original operating cost of a room per night is $100 (($10,000/100), but since there are idle capacity (empty rooms), the company will be better off by an incremental profit of $30 ($60 -$30) per room by offering to sell empty rooms for $60 per room, using a marginal (incremental ) approach.

What do you call an economy in which the government- ideally- has nothing to say about what, how, and for whom goods are produce
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The correct answer is market economy.

Explanation:

A market economy is a type of economy where most of the resources or factors of production are privately owned. The allocation of resources is determined by the market forces and not the government.

The government is not in control of what, how or for whom the goods are produced. This type of economy is directly in contrast with a centrally planned or controlled economy, where the factors of production are owned by the government and the government decides the allocation of resources.

Aurillo Equipment Company (AEC) projected that its ROE for next year would be just 6
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Aurillo Equipment Company (AEC)

If AEC refinances its high interest bonds, its projected new ROE will be:

= 15.6%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total debt = $200,000

Debt ratio = 80%

Total assets = $250,000 ($200,000/80%)

Equity = $50,000 ($250,000 - $200,000)

Old interest rate on old debt = 14%

New interest rate on refinanced debt = 10%

Total interest = $20,000 ($200,000 * 10%)

Sales revenue = $300,000

EBIT =        $33,000

Interest       20,000

Before tax $13,000

Tax =             5,200 (40% of $13,000)

Net income $7,800

ROE = Net income/Equity * 100

= ($7,800/$50,000 * 100)

= 15.6%
