Answer:

Explanation:

By how much does the residual elasticity of demand facing a firm increase, as the number of firms in the market increases by one?

The residual elasticity of demand facing a firm, is the portion of market demand which is not met or supplied by other firms in the market. In other words, this is the demand curve of the firm, given the presence of other firms in the market.

Given that

- all the firms in this market sell identical products,

- have identical marginal costs,

- and produce the same amount of output;

We model the residual elasticity of demand for this firm as:

EDr = EDm - EDa

Where:

EDr = the residual elasticity of demand for this firm

EDm = market elasticity of demand

EDa = total elasticity of demand facing ALL other firms in the market.

If EDa = 4, and a new firm enters the market, it will become 5

Elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of demand, to change in price of a commodity.

A company is considering two projects.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Project 1:

Initial investment = $120,000

Cash inflow Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 = $40,000

Hence,

Annual cash flow = $40,000

Payback period:

= Initial investment ÷ annual cash inflow

= $120,000 ÷ $40,000

= 3 years

Therefore, the payback period for Project I is 3 years.

Walt Bach Company has accumulated the following budget data for the year 2019.
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Walt Bach Company

a) Schedule of Cost of Goods Sold

Direct materials =                 $400,000 (2*$5*40,000)

Direct labor =                          960,000 (1.5*$16*40,000)

Manufacturing overhead =    360,000 ($6*60,000)

Total cost of goods sold = $1,720,000

b) Budgeted Income Statement for 2013

Sales Revenue          $2,200,000

Cost of goods sold      (1,720,000)

Gross profit                   $480,000

Selling and admin. exp.  200,000

Income before tax        $280,000

Income tax (30%)             (84,000)

Net income                   $196,000

Explanation:

a) Budget Data and Calculations:

Sales: 40,000 units, unit selling price $55, Revenue = $2,200,000

Cost of one unit of finished goods:

Direct materials 2 pounds at $5 per pound = $400,000 (2*$5*40,000)

Direct labor 1.5 hours at $16 per hour = $960,000 (1.5*$16*40,000)

Manufacturing overhead $6 per direct labor hour = $360,000 ($6*60,000)

Inventories (raw materials only):

Beginning, 10,000 pounds;

Ending, 15,000 pounds.

Selling and administrative expenses: $200,000.

Income taxes: 30% of income before income taxes.

Answer:

4.25%

Explanation:

We need to calculate the net present value of the cash flows to determine the  IRR.

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of Cash outflows

As the cash inflow and outflow are fixed for specific period of time so, we will use the annuity formula to calculate the NPV.

NPV = [ $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 18% )^-5) /18% ] - [ ( $4,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 18% )^-12) /18%) x ( 1 + 18%)^-6 ]

NPV = $15,636 - $7,102 = $8,534

We need NPV on a higher rate of 10%

NPV = [ $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 10% )^-5) /10% ] - [ ( $4,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 10% )^-12) /10%) x ( 1 + 10%)^-6 ]

NPV = $18,954 - $15,385 = $3,569

IRR = Lower rate + [ Lower rate NPV / (Lower rate NPV - Higher rate NPV) ] (higher rate - lower rate)

IRR = 10% + [ 3,569 / ($3,569 - $8,534) ] (18% - 10%)

IRR = 4.25%
