Answer:

Combine profit of 2018 and 2019 is $200 + (-$100 loss) = $100 profit.

Explanation:

The value of imported product from Germany as on 1st Dec. 2018 = 300 Euro

The exchange rate as on 1st Dec. 2018 = 0.6 Euro/Dollars

The value of imported product in dollars =\frac{300}{0.6} = 500 dollars.

Since product sold in cash for $400 as on 15th Dec.

Since fiscal year end on 31st Dec. So, find the profit and loss.

Profit and loss = Sold price - Product price in dollars

Profit and loss = $400 - $500

Thus, loss for the year 2018 = $100

Now the dealer will pay  on 1st Feb 2019 and on this date the exchange rate is 1.5 Euro/Dollars. The dealer have to pay the 300 Euro. So,on 1st Feb the value of 300 Euro in dollars will be: = \frac{300}{1.5} = $200.

Now, dealer will pay only $200 which is equal to 300 Euro. However, dealer had received $400 from sale. So. Profit is $400  - $200 = $200.

Thus, the loss of 2018 is $100 and profit of 2019 is $200.

Combine profit of 2018 and 2019 is $200 + (-$100 loss) = $100 profit.

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

1. Her return on investment is 20%

2. $40,000

Explanation:

1. We have Return on Investment = Net income from the Investment / The invested amount.

The net income is clearly stated in the Question which is the after-tax profit at $20,000.

The invested amount of Amelia is the amount she invested in Goodies Gift Shop which is illustrated as net worth ( owner's equity) at $100,000 in the Balance Sheet (Year 2).

As we have Return on Investment =  20,000/100,000 = 20%

2. We have the projected pre-tax profit = Projected margin - total overhead = 250K - 200K = $50,000

   The after-tax profit = pre-tax profit x (1- tax rate) = 50K x (1-20%) = $40,000

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. ​is based on simplifying assumptions, but is still useful for illustrating scarcity, opportunity cost, and economic growth.

Explanation:

The production possibilities frontier (FPP) is a graphic representation of the maximum quantities of production that an economy can obtain in a given period using all the resources it has available.

In an economy that has thousands of products, the alternatives to produce one good or another and how much of each are very large. When an alternative is chosen, it means that other possibilities are being renounced. The relationship between what we choose and what we give up is the opportunity cost.

garri49 [273]
Data:
A (amount) = ?
P (Principal) = $ 4000
r (rate) = 6% → 0.06
t (time) = 2 years

Formula:
A = P(1+r*t)

Solving:
A = P(1+r*t)
A = 4000(1+0.06*2)
A = 4000(1+0.12)
A = 4000*1.12
\boxed{\boxed{A = \$\:4480}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark
