Answer:
$671,300
Explanation:
The calculation of adjusted basis in the building is shown below:-
Adjusted basis = Original cost of the property + Cost of capital improvements - Depreciation claimed
= $750,000 + $50,000 - $128,700
= $800,000 - $128,700
= $671,300
Therefore for computing the adjusted basis we simply add original cost of the property with cost of capital improvements and deduct depreciation claimed.
Answer:
The correct answer is (B) Buy euro at $1.50/€, buy £ at €1.25/£, sell £ at $2/£
Explanation:
The dollar- euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.50 = €1.00
the dollar-pound exchange rate is quoted at $2.00 = £1.00
To calculate the actual cross rate we use; S(euro divided by pounds) = S(dollar/pounds) ÷ S(dollar/euro).
Using symbols to denote this, we have S(€/£) = S($/£) / S($/€)
S(€/£) = S(2/1) ÷ S(1.50/1)
= (2 / 1.5)
= €1.33.
Consequently, from this result we now know that the euro is undervalued with respect to pounds under the cross rate being offered by the bank. This implies that you should first buy the euro, convert to pounds, and eventually convert back to dollars, this would enable you make money as an investor.
In this situation, the Average fixed cost wll be INCREASED.
AFC (average fixed cost) is calculated by adding up all total fixed cost within a certain period and divide it with the total years. If a business experienced an increased in any way to its fixed cost, the average will automatically increased.
Answer:
consumer surplus = $3.5
producer surplus = $2
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
Jeff's consumer surplus = $7 - $6 = $1
Samir's consumer surplus = $8.50 - $6 = $2.50
total consumer surplus = $1 + $2.50 = $3.50
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
Manufacturer 1's producer surplus = $6 - $4.5 = $1.50
Manufacturer 2's producer surplus = $6 - $5.50 = $0.50
total producer surplus = $1.50 + 0.50 = $2
Answer:
higher in the steel market, lower in the rice market, and unchanged in the TV market
Explanation:
Producer surplus can be defined as the variance between the amount an individual or nation is willing to take for certain quantity of a product versus the amount they receive when the goods are sold at the market value. For the nation of Aquilonia to be importing rice that means producer surplus is higher because the variance is low, it will export rice because the producer variance is low, and hence it wants to give to other countries. But since it is neither exporting nor importing TV, that means that the producer surplus remained the same even after the change in policy.
