Answer:

''there will be at most as many POSITIVE rates...''

Explanation:

The measure of investments' rate of return which excludes external factors such as inflation is known as Internal Rate of Return(IRR)

It is used in;

(1). Savings and loans.

(2). Liabilities

(3). Fixed incomes

(4). Private equity and capital management.

(5). Maximizing total present value and so on.

It can be calculate using the formula below:

NPV= C(n)/(1+r)^n = 0

That is internal rate of return can be use in solving NPV = 0.

Therefore, 'With respect to engineering economics and the internal rate of return (IRR), Descartes’ rule of signs indicates there will be at most as many POSITIVE rates of return as there are sign changes in the cash flow profile.''

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

. No, he has not proven he is financially responsible with money previously borrowed.

Explanation:

Dwayne is a high-risk customer.

Most lenders will want to stay away for customers who are perceived as high-risk.  A high-risk customer is one whose probability of defaulting on a loan is above the market average.

Dwayne has missed loan repayments in the recent past. Banks interplate this as an indicator that he is highly likely to default on future loan repayments.  

For Dwayne to qualify for a loan, he has to improve his credit score. He can do that by prompt repayments of debts. He has to find out why he is missing or getting late in meeting his obligations. Most likely, he is taking loans for the wrong reasons.

If the demand for loanable funds shifts to the right, then the equilibrium interest rate a. and quantity of loanable funds rises
never [62]

If the demand for loanable funds shifts to the right, then the equilibrium interest rate and quantity of loanable funds rise.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The availability of loanable funds is savings dependent. Lending is dependent on desire for loanable funds. The relationship between the savings supply and loan requirement decides the real interest rate and the amount is being loaned out.

The requirement for loanable funds reflects lenders' actions, as well as the amount of loans requested. The smaller the rate of interest, the less costly it is to lend. The balance of loanable funds on the market is done because the amount of loans lenders want is the same as the amount of savings that savers have. The interest rate varies to ensure that both are equivalent.

1. Ignoring cannibalization rates for now, what two markets have the highest net revenue increases when adding a second store?

San Diego and Orlando

Atlanta and Dallas

Orlando and Dallas

San Diego and Portland

Dallas and Portland

2. What two markets should be chosen for a second store based on management's criteria that the cannibalization rate for the existing store should be less than 30%

Note: Cannibalization rates and net revenue increase amounts need to be considered when making this determination.

San Diego and Orlando

San Diego and Los Angeles

Chicago and Los Angeles

Chicago and Portland

San Diego and Portland

Answer:

Better Beans Coffee Company

1. San Diego's $2,750,000 and Orlando's $1,525,000 presented the highest net revenue increases when adding a second store.

2. Based on management's criteria that the cannibalization rate for the existing store should be less than 30%, San Diego with 10% and Los with 10% Cannibalization rates should be chosen.

Explanation:

Cannibalization Rate is a measure of the impact of new products or the presence of new stores on sales revenue for existing products or stores.  Cannibalization happens when a business, like the Better Beans Coffee Company, opens a new store in a town where there is an existing store. It can also happen when Better Beans releases new coffee products.  Consumers' attention and demand for existing products can decrease, as a switch to new products or new stores takes place.

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The amount of stockholders' equity as of July 1 of the current year is $39,994

Explanation:

In John Wong, DVM, on July 1 of the current year:

Total asset = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Supplies + Land = $10,687 + $8,307 + $1,853 + $24,857 = $45,704

Liabilities = Accounts Payable = $5,710

Basing on accounting equation:

Total asset = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' Equity  = Total asset - Liabilities = $45,704 - $5,710 = $39,994
