STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Mrs.Smith should continue to operate the business in the short run but shut down in the long run.

Explanation:

According to the shut down rule, at the profit-maximizing positive level of output, a business in a competitive market should continue to operate in the short-term if the price equals to or is greater than the average variable cost, but should shut down in the long term if the price is less than or equal to total cost. Here,

price = $8.10

avg variable cost = $8.00

avg total cost = $8.25

Mrs.Smith should continue to operate the business in the short run but shut down in the long run.

Your broker requires an initial margin of $878 per futures contract on wheat and a maintenance margin of $650 per contract. Whea
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

b. Call for $1,500

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

We can calculate the amount of margin call by using following formula:-

Loss of today = future contracts based total bushels × total contract × (settlement cost per bushels - future contract price per bushels)

= 5,000 cents × 6 × (390 cents  - 385 cents)

= 5,000 cents × 6 × 5 cents

= 150,000 cents

And we know that

100 cents = 1 dollar

so,

150,000 cents ÷ 100 =$1,500

Initial margin $878 per future contract and maintenance margin $650 per contract, Margins of both are less than loss .So we have to pay $1,500 in initial margin.

According to the analysis, we will receive $1,500 margin call.

Therefore option (B) call for $1,500 is correct.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

A. $70,000

Explanation:

From the information given, we discover that

Gross profit from sporting goods business = $100,000

Subtract: other Expenses = 11500

Subtract: Building depreciation expenses (10000 × 55%) = 5500

Subtract: Mortgage Interest (10000 × 55%) = 5500

Subtract: Depreciation on vehicle used for business = 3000

Less: Utilities for Ground Floor = 4500

Net Self employment Income = $70,000

Note that 55% is used for ground floor, it is calculated as 100 - 45% used by tenant, therefore, for business purpose 55% will be taken.
