Answer:

Read the explanation below.

Explanation:

A. Luxury yatch: Not a lot of people buy Yactchs, but a lot of businesses are capable of making them. So more or less the buyer is in position to dictate terms. And asking the buyer to open a letter of credit may result in the loss of sale.

But to protect against the risk of losing payment, the seller can opt for export credit insurance. Here on advantage of export credit insurance is the exporter is more likely to make the sale in a competitive market such as this. If there is a default, the insurance should cushion the blow. However, Canada and California are not known for opaque or radically different legal systems, are not far away, and do not have linguistic or other barriers. In the event of default, the yatch is likely to be returned.

b. Machine tools. Again, one advantage is that the new yorker exporter is more likely to make the sale. The exporter's position however is strong due to the fact not lot of people make machine tools as the are hard to make and have a higher fixed costs.

Thus, letter credit is the most viable option in this case.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

$100

Explanation:

Total cost if he installs seven systems = $300

Total cost if he installs eight systems = $400

Therefore, the marginal cost of installing 8th system is the difference between the total cost of installing eight systems and the total cost of installing seven systems.

Marginal cost of installing 8th system:

= Total cost of installing 8 systems - Total cost of installing 7 systems

= $400 - $300

= $100

The profit maximization conditions says that the marginal cost must be equal to the marginal revenue.

Hence,

William will install eight systems per day only if the eight customer is willing to pay at least $100.

If Project Repat were to acquire another firm that makes or sells similar products in similar markets, it would be an example of
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

b. Horizontal merger.

Explanation:

Project Repat is merging with a company that produces similar products to its own markets them in similar markets as well, this is an example of a horizontal merger that results in increased synergies between the similar firms and a greater market share opportunity.

Vertical mergers are usually not in the same industry. They would either be with the suppliers of Project Repat or customers who retail Project Repat's products.

Conglomerate is an example of diversification and usually the merging firms have different operations.

There are no information of clashes of any sort within the two  merging companies so it is uncertain whether this is a hostile takeover.

Hope that helps.

Which of the following is not a role of accounting in business?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": To personally guarantee loans of the business.

Explanation:

Accounting is the recording of financial transactions of a business or organization. It also includes the process of summarizing, analyzing and reporting these transactions -given a method- in financial statements. The financial statements that accountants create provide critical information for many key people such as managers, stakeholders, and the corresponding agencies of the government.

However, <em>securing a loan for a company will rely on the credit history of the institution which directly does not involve one of the functions of corporate accounting.</em>

amid [387]

Answer:

Both parties experience surplus, but there is inequity because Steve has a much larger producer surplus

Explanation:

The options to this question wasn't provided. Here are the options : Both parties experience surplus, but there is inequity because Steve has a much larger producer surplus. Both parties experience surplus, so the transaction was equitable. Only Steve benefits from the sale. Srivani will not be happy with her purchase.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least amount the seller is willing to sell his good.

While both parties earn a surplus, the producer surplus exceeds the consumer surplus . Therefore, the seller benefited more from the trade than the consumer.

I hope my answer helps you
