Answer:

Monopolistic competition exists in industries that have many firms offering similar products or services. In monopolistic competition, those similar products are not perfect substitutes for one another. Barriers in entry and exit of these industries are low and decisions made by one firm do not directly affect its competitors. In the short term, a monopolistically competitive industry can incur losses nut <em>only if those loses are higher than the fixed costs the organization will stop operations</em>.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

1-a. The are multiple IRRs stated as follows:

The first IRR value = 4.09%

Second IRR value = 31.82%

1-b. Rate of return = 7.58%

2. This is NOT a good investment because the NPV is negative.

Explanation:

Note: The estimated Net Cash Flow for the 4th year in the data is erroneously stated in the question as a positive value instead as a negative value since it is a cost.

The estimated net cash flows correctly before answering the question as follows:

Year End             Net Cash Flow

1                             $500,000

2                            $300,000

3                            $100,000

4                          –$2,400,000

5                            $150,000

6                            $200,000

7                            $250,000

8                            $300,000

9                            $350,000

10                           $400,000

The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

1-a. Tabulate the PW versus the interest rate and determine whether multiple IRRs exist.

Note: See Part 1-a of the attached excel file for the tabulation of the PW versus the interest rate.

From Part 1-a of the attached excel file, it can be observed that multiple IRRs exist. This is because there two IRRs stated as follows:

The first IRR value = 4.09%

Second IRR value = 31.82%

1-b. If so, use the ERR method when e 8% per year to determine a rate of return.

Note: See Part 1-a of the attached excel file for the calculation of total future value of income when e = 8% per year.

In the attached excel file, note that year 4 has a cost not income. Therefore,

From attached excel, we have:

Total Future Value of Income = $3,661,508.81

In the attached excel file, note that year 4 has a cost (not income) of $2,400,000. Therefore, it future value is not calculated. However, the present of the cost can be calculated as follows:

Present value of cost in year 4 = $2,400,000 / (100% + e)^4 = $2,400,000 / (100% + 8%)^4 = $1,764,071.65

The rate of return can now be calculated as follows:

Rate of return = ((Total Future Value of Income / Present value of cost in year 4)^(1/Number of period)) - 1 = (($3,661,508.81 / $1,764,071.65)^(1/10)) - 1 = 0.0758, or 7.58%

2. Use the PW method and a MARR of 18% to determine whether this is a good investment.

Note: See Part 2 of the attached excel file for the calculation of net present value (NPV).

From part 2 of the attached excel file, we have:

Net present value = –$21,043.15

Since the net present value is negative, this implies that this is NOT a good investment.

Cason is filing as single and has 2019 taxable income of $36,000 which includes $34,000 0%/ 15 % / 20% net long-term MID capital
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The correct answer of this question is b-200$.

Explanation:

As per tax schedule if income from capital gain is less than 39,375$ 0% tax is charge lieved.

So on his income from capital gain that is 34,000 dollars no tax will be charge. However the remaining income is subject to income tax that is (36000-34000)= 2000 dollars. So Cason is liable to pay tax equals to 200$. (2000*10%)

As per tax law whose income is less than 9,750 dolars is liable to pay tax at the rate of 10%.

Discuss the relationship between bond prices and interest rates. What impact do changing interest rates have on the price of lon
Doss [256]

Interest rates and bond prices have an adverse correlation. Bond prices grow during periods of low-interest rates and decline during periods of high-interest rates.

<h3>What is the interest rate?</h3>

The cost of borrowing and the rewards for saving are both indicated by the interest rate. Since there is a premium if the coupon rate is higher than the market rate, the bond's price will be higher. Bond prices will decrease if the coupon rate is lower because there will be a discount.

The price of long-term bonds is more affected by interest rates than the price of short-term bonds. A bond's price varies depending on how long it is.
