Answer:
Downward sloping
Explanation:
According to the law of demand, this law states that there is a inverse relationship between the price of a commodity and the quantity demanded for a commodity. This indicates that as the price of the commodity increases then as a result the quantity demanded for that commodity decreases and as the price of the commodity decreases then as a result the quantity demanded for that commodity increases.
Monopoly refers to the market conditions in which there is only a single firm operating in a whole market.
Hence, due to this inverse relationship between the price and the quantity demanded, the demand curve for a monopoly firm is downward sloping.
Answer:
r = 0.235 or 23.5%
Explanation:
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.
The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
r = 0.06 + 2.5 * 0.07
r = 0.235 or 23.5%
Answer:
3 1/3 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the time required for the inflows from a project to be equal to the initial outflow for the project. It is a key consideration in capital budgeting. It is usually assumed that the outlay or initial outflow is made in year 0 and the first inflow comes in after a year.
Year Cash outflow Cash inflow Balance
0 ($50,000) - ($50,000)
1 - $15,000 ($35,000)
2 - $15,000 ($20,000)
3 - $15,000 ($5,000)
4 - $15,000 $10,000
5 - $15,000 $25,000
Hence the payback period
= 3 years and 5000/15000 * 12 months
= 3 years 4 months
= 3 1/3 years
Answer:
Which party to the exchange must pay boot to make the exchange work?
- Rufus must pay boot since the FMV of its property is less than the FMV of Hardy's property.
How much boot must be paid?
- $90,000 - $77,500 = $12,500
Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Rufus realize and recognize on the exchange, and what tax basis will Rufus take in the property acquired?
- Rufus doesn't have any gain, and the tax basis for the new asset will be $50,000 + $12,500 = $62,500
Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Hardy realize and recognize on the exchange and what tax basis will Hardy take in the property acquired?
- Since Hardy's property basis is $60,000 and it would be receiving $50,000 (Rufus's property) + $12,500 = $62,500, then it must recognize a $2,500 gain. The basis of Hardy's new property will be $62,500.
Answer:
<u>Part(a) Differential analysis as at February 24</u>
Make (Alternative 1) :
Direct Materials $35.00
Direct labor $18.00
Variable Overheads $2.70
Fixed Overheads $0.00
Total Make Costs $55.70
Buy (Alternative 2) :
Total Purchase Cost $59.00
<u>(b) On the basis of the data presented, would it be advisable to make the carrying cases or continue buying them? </u>
It is clear that from comparison of the cost of Purchase and the Cost of Making the Carrying Cases, the Cost of Making the Carrying Cases is lower than the Cost of Purchasing the Cases by $3.30
It is thus advisable to make carrying cases instead of buying them
Explanation:
Total Make Costs;
The Factory fixed overheads are irrelevant to this decision hence they were ignored in the make cost calculations.
