Answer:

$1,241

Explanation:

For computing the net advantage to leasing first we have to determine the total cash flow from leasing and total cash flow from buying which is shown below:

For leasing:

Year       Lease payment      PVF at 5.8%    Present value

1              $6,500                   0.9452             $6,144

2             $6,500                   0.8934             $5,807

3              $6,500                  0.8444              $5,489

Total outflow                                                   $17,440

For buy:

Year      Outflow or inflow     PVF at 5.8%    Present value

0            ($23,000)                    1                      ($23,000)

1              $1,610                       0.9452             $1,522

2             $1,610                        0.8934             $1,438

3              $1,610                       0.8444              $1,359

Total outflow                                                   $18,681

Now the net advantage to leasing is

= Buy outflow - leasing outflow

= $18,681 - $17,440

= $1,241

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

a. 0.36

Explanation:

The computation of the gross profit rate is shown below:

Gross profit rate = Gross profit ÷ Net sales revenue

where,

Net sales revenue = Sales revenue - Sales return and allowances - sales discounts

= $160,000 - $3,000 - $7,000

= $150,000

And, the Cost of goods sold is $96,000

So, the gross profit is

= $54,000 ÷ $150,000

= 0.36

A "price taker" is a firm that Question 8 options: does not have the ability to control the price of the product it sells. does
Masja [62]

Answer:

Does not have the ability to control the price of the product it sells

Explanation:

A price taker is a firm that doesn't have the ability to control the price of the product they sell.

Price taker exist in a perfectly competitive market where individual firms cannot dictate prices of goods and services.

A perfectly competitive market is characterised by

1) presence of large number of buyers and sellers.

2) There is free entry and exit.

3) Sellers sell homogenous product, that is, identical product.

4) Buyers have access to information.

In contrast to price taker, we also have price makers who have the ability to control the prices of product they sell.

You sold 12 plants for $5.00 each. You purchase seeds at the Dollar Store for .50 a pack. The plant container costs $2.00 each.
alina1380 [7]

Answer: Well, first this relies on whether or not a pack plants twelve plants or just one. For the sake of this question, I will assume they plant one. Each plant costs two dollars and fifty cents to plant, and each are sold for five dollars, making two dollars and fifty cents profit on each. 12 times 2.5 is thirty dollars of profit total.

Crank

Answer: a. 0.042 b. 0.086 c. 0.00692

Explanation:

NOTE: Convert months to years. So 24 months = 2 years.

a. Six months

Months to year conversion gives: 6months/24months as 1/4 years

= (1 + 18%)^ 1/4 — 1 x 100%

= 1.042 — 1

= 0.042

Equivalent Discount Rate = 0.042

b. One year

12months/24months as 1/2 years

= (1 + 18%)^1/2 — 1 x 100%

= 0.086

Equivalent Discount Rate = 0.086

c. 1 month

1month/24months as 1/24 years

= (1 + 18%)^1/24 — 1 x 100%

= 0.00692
