Why do government regulations lead to higher prices for consumers?

1 answer:

6 0

Government regulations mandate production or testing requirements to ensure the quality and safety of products. This typically means specialized equipment is needed to produce the product, more employees are needed to perform quality control tests, and possibly higher quality raw materials must be used. The cost of producing the product increases with the higher quality materials, new equipment acquisition, and additional paid employee time. These added production costs are then passed on to the consumer in the final price of the product.

Answer:

Maximum Dollar Increase = $10079.76

Explanation:

(See attachment for full question)

INCOME STATEMENT

Sales ---------- $67,000

Costs ---------- $43,800

EBIT ------------ $23,200

Taxes (34%) ----$7,888

Net income ------$15,312

BALANCE SHEET

Current Assets ------$31,000

Fixed Assets --------- $118,000

Total ------------------- $149,000

Long-term Debt -----$68,000

Equity ------------------- $81,000

Total ----------------- $149,000

Dividend Payout Ratio = 30%

Plowback Ratio is calculated by: 1 - Dividend Payout Ratio

Plowback Ratio = 1 - 30%

Plowback Ratio = 1 - 30/100

Plowback Ratio = 1 - 0.3

Plowback Ratio = 0.7

Plowback Ratio = 70/100

Plowback Ratio = 70%

Return on Equity (ROE) is calculated by: Net Income/Total Equity

Net Income = $15,132

Total Equity = $81,000

ROE = $15,132/$81,000

ROE = 0.186815

ROE = 18.68%

Calculating Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR)

SGR = (ROE * Plowback Ratio)/(1 - ROE * Plowback)

SGR = (0.186815 * 0.7)/( 1 - 0.186815 * 0.7)

SGR = (0.1307705)(1-0.1307705)

SGR = 0.1307705/0.8692295

SGR = 0.150444157728194

SGR = 0.1504

Max increase = (Sales * SGR)= ($67,000 * 0.1504)

Max Increase = $10079.75856778905

Max Increase = $10079.76

ioda

Answer:

$35,000

Explanation:

Since this is an operating lease (short lease term, no transfer of ownership, and low present value of lease payments), the lessor has to record a depreciation expense, but the lessee only considers lease payments as operating costs (no depreciation expense or lease liability should be recognized).

Depreciation expense per year under the straight line method = asset cost / useful life = $280,000 / 8 years = $35,000

How to find the average amount of something?

Novay_Z [31]

Add up all the numbers and divide it by the amount of numbers there are. For example, the average of 2, 4, and 1 would be 2+4+1= 6, then 6/3 because there are 3 numbers.
