Answer:

The correct answer is A)

Explanation:

When products and or services are manufactured at a level that maximizes social welfare, allocative efficiency is said to have occurred.

A market system characterized as monopolistic competition may <u><em>never </em></u>achieve productive efficiency because firms often fix prices at a point higher than their marginal costs.

Marginal cost refers to the added cost incurred by producing or manufacturing one additional unit of a product.

At the beginning of 2023, the Mackinac Company purchased a machine for $510,000 (salvage value of $60,000) that had a useful lif
Ratling [72]

Answer:

$10,000 credited

Explanation:

DATA

Machine cost = 510,000

Salvage value = $60,000

Useful life = 6 years

Depreciation = $60,000/6years

Depreciation = $10,000

It means that we have overstated depreciation expense for the year with the amount of $10,000.

Retained earnings will be credited by $10,000 As the depreciation expense was overstated mistakenly by $10,000

uppose your firm has decided to use a divisional WACC approach to analyze projects. The firm currently has four divisions, A thr
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

WACC for A: 9.05%

WACC for B: 9.50%

WACC for C: 12.20%

WACC for D: 12.65%

Explanation:

WACC for a division will be equal: Percentage of Debt in capital employed by the Division x Cost of Debt + Percentage of Equity in capital employed by the Division x Cost of equity = 50% x 6% + 50% x ( Risk free rate + Beta of each Division x Risk premium) = 3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x Risk premium)

Risk premium for the 4 Divisions is equal to (Cost of equity for the whole firm - Risk free rate) / beta = 9%

Thus WACC for a division will be equal:  3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x 9%).

Substitute beta of each Division from A to D provided in the question, we have: WACC for A: 9.05%; WACC for B: 9.5%; WACC for C: 12.2%; WACC for D: 12.65%.

A bond has a face value of $1,000, a coupon of 5% paid annually, a maturity of 34 years, and a yield to maturity of 8%. What rat
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

- 3.21%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the PV formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

PMT = 1,000 × 5% = 50

NPER = 34 years -  1 year =  33 year

Rate of interest = 9%

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the present value would be $581.42

Now the return would be

=  Sale price + interest - purchase price

= $581.42 + $50 - $652.39

= -$20.97

And, the total return would be

=  Return ÷ purchase price

=  -$20.97 ÷ $652.39

= - 3.21%
