Answer:

A) a relatively large number of firms and the monopolistic element from product differentiation.

Explanation:

A monopolistically competitive industry has the elements of monopoly as product differentiation. Since the products produced in are different in some way and thus may offer differing utilities. This allows the firms in the industry to vary their supply to influence prices as this differentiated product is only produced by them. This is reminiscent of a monopoly.

However, at the same time - there may be substitutes with slight variations as  there are a relatively larger number of companies producing differing products. This offers as an option to customers and helps the market act as competitive.

Option B only focuses on the monopolistic elements. Option C is fundamentally wrong as low entry barriers is not a monopolistic element. Option D gives us a monopolistic element of advertising that can act as differentiation but a highly inelastic demand curve goes against the perfect competition - this nullifies the argument.

Hope that helps.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

a  $1,091.22

b $9,798.22

c - $1,709.78

d-1 $2,710

d-2  - $4,419.78

Explanation:

a. The computation of the net income is shown below:

= Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense - interest expense - income tax expense  

= $34,318 - $24,212 - $5,997 - $2,710 - $307.78

= $1,091.22

The income tax expense  

= ($34,318 - $24,212 - $5,997 - $2,710) × 22%  

=  $307.78

b. The operating cash flow is shown below:

= EBIT + Depreciation - Income tax expense

where,  

EBIT = Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense  

= $34,318 - $24,212 - $5,997

= $4,109

And all other items would remain same

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $4,109 + $5,997 - $307.78

= $9,798.22

c. Computation of the cash flow from assets for 2019 is shown below:

= Operating cash flow - net capital spending - changes in working capital

where, net capital capital = ending fixed assets - beginning fixed assets + depreciation  

= $24,502 - $19,940 + $5,997

= $10,559

Changes in working capital = (ending balance of current assets - ending balance of current liabilities) - (beginning balance of current assets - beginning balance of current liabilities)

= ($8,684 -  $4,673 ) - ($7,054 - $3,992)

= $4,011 - $3,062

= $949

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $9,798.22 - $ $10,559 - $949

= - $1,709.78

d.1 The computation of the cash flow to creditors is shown below:

= Interest expense - ending balance of long term debt + beginning balance of long term debt  

= $2,710 - 0 + 0

= $2,710

d.2 The computation of the cash flow to stockholder is shown below:

= Cash flow from asset - cash flow to creditors

= - $1,709.78 - $2,710

= - $4,419.78

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

C. life estate

Explanation:

A life estate is an estate interest in land that lasts for the life time of the life tenant. The holder of a life estate has a full right to possess the property during their life. A life estate is restrictive in that it prevents the beneficiary from selling the property that produces the income before the beneficiary's death. But the estate cannot continue beyond the life of the beneficiary.  A major benefit of a life estate deed is that it can be used to pass property upon the life tenant's death without it being part of the life tenant’s estate.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Total PV= $46,728.79

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow:

Cf1= $8,000

Cf4= $16,000

Cf8= $20,000

Cf10= $25,000

Discount rate= 6%

To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

Cf1= 8,000/(1.06^1)= 7,547.17

Cf4= 16,000/(1.06^4)= 12,673.50

Cf8= 20,000/(1.06^8)= 12,548.25

Cf10= 25,000/(1.06^10)= 13,959.87

Total PV= $46,728.79

Your restaurant has assets of $64,342 and liabilities of $47,266. What is the equity of your business?
Alborosie

Answer:

Equity of the business= $17,076.

Explanation:

Equity as used in business is used to refer to the difference between the worth of a business (its assets) and what the business owes (debts and liabilities).

In other words, total equity refers to the value which is left in the company after the total liabilities must have been subtracted from the total assets.

The formula to calculate total equity is given below:

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Therefore to calculate the equity above, we have:

Equity = $64,342 - $47,266

Equity = $17,076.
