Answer: The correct answers are "The general level of stock prices" and "The effect of the tax rate on the cost of debt in the weighted average cost of capital equation".
Explanation: The general level of stock prices and the effect of the tax rate on the cost of debt in the weighted average cost of capital equation are outside from firm's control because although companies have knowledge of the market, the general level of stock prices is not controlled by them, but by the market. And the effect of the tax rate is not controlled by companies because the tax rate is set by the state.
The answer is C. Stratified random sampling is a method of sampling that involves the division of a population into smaller sub-groups known as strata.

Economic profit is calculated as:
Economic profit = Total Revenues – Total Cost
Total cost both includes explicit and implicit cost. In
this case, the explicit cost is $8,000 while the implicit cost is $64,000.
Explicit cost is a direct payment made to run the business while implicit cost
is the opportunity as accountant that is lost. Therefore,
Economic profit = $150,000 – ($8,000 + $64,000)
<span>Economic profit = $78,000</span>
Answer:
$76,100 net operating loss
Explanation:
The computation of the overall company net operating income (loss) is shown below:
= East sales - east Variable costs - east Traceable fixed costs - east Allocated common corporate costs - west Allocated common corporate costs
= $550,000 - $198,000 - $169,500 - $117,500 - $141,100
= -$76,100 loss
Since the west division is eliminated so all the items would be ignored except Allocated common corporate costs
Answer:
<h2>In this case,the answer would be option D. or It can be a source of competitive advantage for a period of time.</h2>
Explanation:
- In Production Economics,any organizational input in the production process can provide competitive advantage to any firm or company for a sustainable period of time only if it provides commercial or economic value to the firm or company,it is unique and it cannot be completely imitable or substituted through other equivalent resource/s by other market competitors.
- Therefore,if any organization resource or input is easily imitated then it cannot ensure long term or sustainable competitive advantage for any firm or company in the market.
- However,it can provide some temporary market advantage or competitive edge to any particular firm or company until the time it is fully imitated and implemented by its competitors or rivals.
