Answer:

The scarcity is the key problem that the economics are trying to find an answer to and try to mitigate by making the resources more productive.

The scarcity arises because of 2 main factors,

The human wants are Unlimited
The resources available to satisfy these wants are Limited

In theory, if we need to "eliminate" scarcity complete we should either Limit our Needs or find an Unlimited source of resources we require.

However, these are not practical solutions.

So because of this, economics try to utilize technology and other factors to harness the full potential of resources and to use them optimally.

Explanation:

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r) nm

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

m = number of compounding

N = number of years

Present value value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow from year 0 to 3 = 6000

I = 9%

PV = 21,187.77

FV = 21,187.77 X (1,09)^4

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Financial data for Stirling Inc. for last year are as follows:

Tom [10]

Answer:

profit margin: 6.04%

Assets turnover: 2.08

ROI 25.89%

Residual Income 137,330

Explanation:

profit margin:

income/sales = 326,480/5,404,000 = 0.060414507 = 6.0414507%

Assets turnover:

$\frac{net \: sales}{average \: assets} \\\\where:\\average \: assets = \frac{ending + beginning}{2}$

(2,561,000 + 2,629,000)/2 = 2,595,000 average assets

5,404,000/2,595,000 = 2.082466281 Assets TO

ROI

$\frac{net \: income}{average \: equity} \\\\where:\\average \: equity= \frac{ending + beginning}{2}$

(1,206,000+1,316,000)/2 = 1,261,000 average equity

326,480/1,261,000 = 25.890563%

Residual Income:

current income - income at desired RoR

That means calculate which income generates a ROI of 15% which is the minimum required return:

ROI = income / equity = 0.15

X/1,261,000 = 0.15

X=1,261,000 x 0.15 = 189,150

Now we calculate the diference between this number and the current income.

326,480 - 189,150 = 137,330 Residual Income

A privately owned summer camp for youngsters has the following data for a 12-week session: Charge per camper Fixed costs Variabl

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $192,000

Unitary variable cost= $320 per week

Selling price per unit= $480 per week

To calculate the total cost, we need to use the following formula:

Total cost= fixed costs + unitary variable cost*number of units

Total cost= 192,000 + 320*number of weeks

Now, the total revenue:

Total revenue= selling price per week*Number of weeks

Total revenue= 480*x

Finally, the break-even point in units:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 192,000 / (480 - 320)

Break-even point in units= 1,200 campers

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The depreciation expense is $5638.46 and the Addition to retained earnings is 4865

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Sales = $95805

Less: Costs = $75885

Less depreciation expense ($95805 - $75,885 - 14281.54) = $5638.46

EBIT (12161.54 + 2120) = 14281.54

Less: Interest expense =2120

EBT (100%)(7905/0.65) = 12161.54

Less: tax at 35%(12161.54*35%) =4256.54

The Net income(65%) = 7905

The Less:dividends = 3040

Addition to retained earnings =4865
