Answer: "Laws passed by the federal government often provide benefits for a small number of individuals. These individuals, in turn, have an incentive to contribute to the campaigns of politicians who pass these laws."

Explanation: Rent seeking is an economic concept that revolves around government-funded social services and social service programs. It occurs when an entity seeks to gain added wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity.

Rent seeking can be said to be a process of obtaining economic rent by manipulating the social or political environment in which economic activities occur, rather than by creating new wealth.

An example of rent seeking is when

Laws passed by the federal government which often provide benefits for a small number of individuals. These individuals, in turn, have an incentive to contribute to the campaigns of politicians who pass these laws.

Cotrone Beverages makes energy drinks in three flavors: Original, Strawberry, and Orange. Company is currently operating at 75 p
irina [24]

Relevant Information:

The relevant information is as under:

Segmented income statements appear as follows:

Product                                    Original  Strawberry  Orange

Sales                                     65,200   85,600          102,400

Variable costs                     (44,000)   (77,200)  (80,200)

Contribution margin              21,200     8,400    22,200

Fixed costs allocated                (9,400)    (12,000)   (14,200)

Operating profit (loss)       11,800      (3,600)      8,000  

Answer:

The product not be closed because it is generating net cash flows of ($3,060), which will generate loss for the organization. The better option would be to not abandoning the manufacturing of Strawberry.

Explanation:

Relevant costing says that any savings or losses are relevant if it satisfy following three conditions:

  1. Is a cash flow.
  2. Future related (Not arising due to Past bindings).
  3. Differential or Incremental in nature.

Its crystal clear that any inflows and outflows that are considered would be cash in nature, not related to past events it must be arising as a consequence of taking the decision whose consequences are we considering now, I mean it must arise in future due to the decision made which are considering. The last condition is the concept of differential that lies in the heart of relevant costing and is easily understood by following the following steps:

Step 1: What are the losses or savings if we don't make decision?

Step 2: What are the losses or savings if we make the decision?

Step 3: The difference between step one and two is differential or incremental cost.

Here we learned that relevant cost arises if we take the decision (closing manufacturing of Strawberry), and it doesn't arises if we don't take the decision (not abandoning manufacturing of  Strawberry).

Relevant costs associated with the decision are as under:

                                                    Step 1              Step 2        Step 3

                                            Make Decision    If we Don't Differential

Revenue loss                             (85,600)               -          (85,600)

Variable Costs Savings              77,200                 -            77,200

Fixed costs Savings (W1)             5340                   -              5340

Operating Profit                                                                   (3,060)

Working1: Fixed costs Savings

Total Fixed costs =21400+12000+14200 = $35,600

The saving is 15% of the total fixed cost and is as under:

Fixed costs Savings = $35,600 * 15% = $5340

Assume you are to receive a 30-year annuity with annual payments of $2,000. The first payment will be received at the end of Yea
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Total FV= $678.615.02

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the value of the annuity at the end of the last payment:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {2,000*[(1.06^30) - 1]} / 0.06

FV= $158,116.37

<u>Now, the total future value after 25 years:</u>

FV= PV*(1 + i)^n

FV= 158,116.37*(1.06^25)

FV= $678.615.02

Which of the following statements is​ true?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

D. None of the above.

Explanation:

When there's a change in demand, the demand curve shifts and only quantity demanded changes- it either increases or reduces but price doesn't change. A change in demand is caused by factors that affect a consumer's demand for a good other than the price of the commodity.

Some of the factors that cause a change in demand include:

1. Change in income

2. Change in taste

3. Season

When there's a change in supply, the supply curve shifts and quantity supplied changes but there's no change in price. Change in supply is caused by other factors that affect supply other than price.

BaLLatris [955]

Muhammad Yunus, The Grameen bank founder, was highly successful in applying social incentives through group responsibility to maximize loan repayment rates and created an incentive for other banks to offer similar loans to the poor.

Since Professor Muhammad Yunus founded Grameen Bank in 1976, several economists have analyzed the Grameen Bank's success in trying to eradicate poverty in Bangladesh, either theoretically or empirically. He used social incentives through group responsibility to maximize loan repayment rates and created an incentive for other banks to offer similar loans to the poor.

Social incentives refer to a wide variety of interpersonal motivations and rewards that encourage people to act in a socially valued and approved manner. Projecting a positive reputation and social image, obtaining social acceptance, and moving up the social hierarchy are all examples of social incentives.
