tition from a SpendLess discount department store that just opened, those locations will not stay vacant for long.

Answer: <em>Option (B) is correct.</em>

Explanation:

If true, the following will most seriously weakens the argument: There has been an increasing rate in store opening in the central shopping district (CSD) since Colson's have opened discount stores.

Since after Colson's opened, the locations which were vacant became stores in particular discount store which did not spar with Colson's. Now that we have a discount store & department store without discount. Therefore when these stores close while competing with SpendLess, they wont be replaced with regular non-discount stores .

yulyashka [42]

The Healthcare industry is a great example of how the industry has become involved in Washington lobbying, as the number of their lobbies has increased recently.

According to the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC), lobbying is "attempting to influence the approval or rejection of any rule, standard, rate, or another legislative enactment by any state agency under the state Administrative Procedure Act, RCW.

In  Washington, the sector that has spent the most on lobbying over the past 24 years is the pharmaceutical and health goods sector. Insurance, electric utilities, electronics manufacturers, and business groups are further businesses that spend a lot of money on lobbying.

A process plant making 5000 kg/day of a product selling for $1.75/kg has annual variable pro- duction costs of $2 million at 100
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

a. Breakeven point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin

Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable costs per unit

Variable cost per unit = 2,000,000 / (5,000 * 365 days)

= $1.10

Contribution margin = 1.75 - 1.10

= $0.65

Breakeven point = 700,000 / 0.65

= 1,076,923 kg

Fixed cost per kilogram at those units is:

= 700,000 / 1,076,923

= $0.65

_________________________________________________________

b. Net profit at original prices:

= (Contribution margin * units produced) - Fixed costs

= (0.65 * 5,000 * 365) - 700,000

= $486,250

Less taxes:

= 486,250 * (1 - 35%)

= $316,062.50

Net profit after price increase:

New selling price = 1.75 * 1.1

= $1.93

Net profit = ((Selling price - Variable cost) * units sold) - fixed cost

= ( (1.93 - 1.10) * 5,000 * 365) - 700,000

= $814,750

After tax:

= 814,750 * (1 - 35%)

= $529,587.50

Dollar increase:

= 529,587.50 - 316,062.50

= $213,525

According to the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), a capital budgeting project that has a beta equal to zero should be evaluat
lara [203]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

from the CAPM formula we can derive the statemeent as true.

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.05

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.07

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 0

Ke= 0.05 + 0 (0.07)

Ke 0.05000

As the beta multiplies the difference between the market rate and risk-free rate a beta of zero will nulify the second part of the equation leaving only the risk-free rate. This means the portfolio is not expose to volatility

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

A. The seller would be primarily liable.

Explanation:

Subject to basis is a form of home buying options in real estate. It is a situation where the buyer takes over existing loan of a seller and make commitment to seller to continue repaying the loan to the lender.

Though the buyer will taken over the loan from the seller and make repayment to the lender, there is no legal obligation on buyer`s part that makes him/her liable to the lender. The seller still remain liable despite the the taking over. So  option A is right while B to D is wrong because it`s only the seller that is primarily liable to the lender.
