Answer:
If 41,000 of costs will remain, it is more convenient to maintain the gloves and mittens line. It gives the possibility to keep working, maintain workers and try to make it to positive profit.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Gator Corporation manufactures several types of accessories. For the year, the gloves and mittens line had sales of $480,000, variable expenses of $364,000, and fixed expenses of $150,000. Therefore, the gloves and mittens line had a net loss of $34,000. If Gator eliminates the line, $41,000 of fixed costs will remain.
Sales= 480,000
Variable expense= 364,000
Fixed expense= 150,000
Profit= -34,000
If 41,000 of costs will remain, it is more convenient to maintain the gloves and mittens line. It gives the possibility to keep working, maintain workers and try to make it to positive profit.
Answer:
C) The theory of Comparative Advantage
Explanation:
The theory of Comparative Advantage is a theory of international trade and it comes into effect in a situation where the <u>opportunity cost of producing a good or offering by a service by a country is lower than that of other countries. </u>
Specifically, to understand the theory of comparative advantage the opportunity cost of production or offering a service has to be measured in terms of the trade off between those countries. It simply means when a country has the comparative advantage then it derives more benefits from other countries buying its products as compared to buying their products and vice versa.
In the question, the European Union has the Comparative advantage over South Africa because the trade-off between buying South Africa's edible fruits and nuts and selling other products to South Africa benefits the European countries.
European countries derive more benefits because South Africa buys their goods at a cost higher than it takes them to produce while they buy at the normal cost from South Africa. The <u>trade-off benefits Europe </u>
Answer: 2.77
Explanation:
Portfolio Beta is the Weighted Average Beta of all the individual stocks in a portfolio.
Seeing as the other betas and proportions are given, we can plug this into a formula to find out the beta of stock B.
In case you do not see a beta for the U.S. Treasury bills that's fine because beta is a measure of risk and U.S. Treasury bills have NONE so that means that their better is 0.
And if you are wondering what the beta of stock A is, the answer is 1 because that is the beta of the overall market by definition.
Creating a formula therefore we have,
1.75 = 0.17(0) + 0.31(1) + 0.52x
0.52x = 1.75 - 0.31
0.52x = 1.44
x = 2.76923076923
x = 2.77 (2dp)
2.77 is the beta of Stock B.
Answer:
5.32%
Explanation:
The computation of the coupon rate on the bonds is shown below:
As we know that
Current price = Annual coupon × Present value of annuity factor(6.1%,8 ) + $1,000 × Present value of discounting factor(6.1%,8)
$952 = Annual coupon × 6.18529143 + $1,000 × 0.622697222
Annual coupon is
= ($952 - 622.697222) ÷ 6.18529143
= $53.24
Now
Coupon rate is
= Annual coupon ÷ Face value
= $53.24 ÷ $1,000
= 5.32%
Working notes:
1. Present value of annuity is
= Annuity × [1 - (1 + interest rate)^-time period] ÷ rate
= Annual coupon × [1 - (1.061)^-8] ÷ 0.061
= Annual coupon × 6.18529143
And,
2.Present value of discounting factor is
= $1,000 ÷ 1.061^8
= $1000 × 0.622697222
