Answer:

The firm's new quick ratio is 2.9

Explanation:

The current ratio is calculated as

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

2.5 times = (Cash + receivables + Inventories ) / (Accounts payable + Other current liabilities)

2.5 = ($10,000 + $50,000 + Inventories) / $50,000

$60,000 + inventories = $125,000

Inventories = $65,000

Therefore, $85,000 worth of inventories were sold off.

If the funds generated are used to reduce the common equity that is by repurchasing the equity at book value.

Hence, the common equity amounts to $115,000

Calculating the ROE before the inventory is sold off:

ROE = Net income / Stockholder's equity

= $15,000 / $200,000

= 0.075 or 7.5%

Calculating the ROE after selling off the inventory:

ROE = $15,000 / $115,000

= 0.13 or 13%

The firm's new quick ratio is

Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories) / Current liabilities

= ($210,000 - $65,000) / $50,000

= 2.9

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The correct answer is The price of the alternative was too high.

Explanation:

The market price is the price at which a good or service can be purchased in a free market. It is an economic concept of application both in historical aspects of the discipline and in its concrete use and in daily life.

The concept has given rise to both technical and theoretical discussions in the development of economic sciences. These discussions range from the definition of what a market is to what is understood by price, difficulties that acquire a particular importance in the microeconomics, an area in which one of the most important functions of an economist is the determination of prices that maximize profit of a company. However, the problem also extends to the macroeconomic sphere, in which price calculations play a central role in determining the hypothetical economic balance.

Say that Alland can produce 32 units of food per person per year or 16 units of clothing per person per year, but Georgeland can

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a.Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.

Explanation:

A country has a comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other countries.

A person has an absolute advantage in production if it produces more quantities of the good when compared with other countries.

Georgeland produces more quantities of both food and clothes when compared to Alland, so it has absolute advantage in both activities .

The opportunity cost of georgeland in producing clothes = 36 / 18=2

The opportunity cost of georgeland producing food = 18 / 36 = 0.5

For Alland,

the opportunity cost of producing clothes = 32 / 16= 2

the opportunity cost of producing food = 16 / 32 = 0.5

Neither countries don't have a comparative advantage in the production of either clothes of food bedside they have the same opportunity costs in both activities.

What is the maximum amount a firm should pay for a project that will return $15,000 annually for 5 years if the opportunity cost

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.

Explanation:

Given information:

Return = $15000 annually

Time = 5 years

Opportunity cost = 18%

The formula for payment is

$PV=R(\frac{1}{OC}-\frac{1}{OC(1+OC)^t})$

where, R is return, OC is opportunity cost, t is time in years.

Substitute R=15000, t=5 and OC=0.18 in the above formula.

$PV=15000(\frac{1}{0.18}-\frac{1}{0.18(1+0.18)^5})$

$PV=46907.5653141$

$PV\approx 46907.57$

Therefore the firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.
