Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": It will decrease.

Explanation:

Price floors are price levels the government of a country sets to protect the price of a good will not fall to a level in which producers will not be able to make profits. Since the price level is unlikely to fall,<em> over the years consumers will lose interest in that product and start looking for a substitute at lower prices</em>. <em>The quantity demanded of the price-floor good drops under that scenario.</em>

The offeror may _____ the offer at any time prior to acceptance.
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The offeror may retract the offer at any time prior to acceptance.

Most likely the offeror was able to get a better deal somewhere else, which allows the offeror to retract the offer. However, if they had already made a deal, the offeror would have broken the deal, which may result in action.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The maximum price that should be paid for one share of this stock today is $46.86

Explanation:

Using the dividend discount model, we can calculate the price/fair value of the stock today. The DDM bases the price of the stock on the present value of the expected future inflows from the stock in the form of dividends and terminal value. The discount rate used to discount the cash flows is the cost of equity or required rate of return on stock.

The price of this stock at time zero (t=0) will be,

Prcie = 2 / (1+0.08)  +  2.5 / (1+0.08)^2  +  50 / (1+0.08)^2

Price = $46.86

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

a. Contribution margin per passenger ($50-$20) = $30

b. Contribution margin ratio (30/50) = 60%

c. Operating Income  (390000-270000) = $120,000

d. Operating Profit = $42,000

Explanation:

a. Contribution formula = Sale - Variable Cost

Sale price per passenger = $50

Variable Cost per passenger = $20

Contribution margin per passenger ($50-$20)  = $30

b. Contribution Margin ratio formula = Contribution/Sale

Sales per passenger = 50

Contribution per passenger = 30

Contribution margin ratio (30/50) = 60%

c. Operating profit = Contribution margin- Fixed Cost

Monthly sale total for 13000 passenger

Sale per passenger = $50

Total sale for 13000 passenger 13000*50 = $650,000

Contribution Margin per passenger =$30

Total Contribution margin for 13000 passenger = 13000*30 =                                    $390,000

Less: Fixed Cost = 270,000

Operating Income  (390000-270000) = $120,000

d. Contribution margin formula= (Sale x Contribution margin ratio)

Contribution margin = (520000*60%) = $312,000

Less: Fixed Cost = 270,000

Operating Profit = $42,000

Suppose the Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by $200. Again, you can assume that banks do not hold excess rese
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The fed needs to purchase bonds worth $20 from the banks to increase money supply by $200.

Explanation:

The Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by $200.

The reserve requirement is 10%.

The fed can increase the money supply by purchasing bonds from commercial banks.  

The money supply will increase by money multiplier times worth of bonds.  

Increase in money supply = \frac{1}{RR}\ \times\ Worth\ of\ bonds\ purchased

$200 = \frac{1}{0.1}\ \times\ Worth\ of\ bonds

Worth of bonds = \frac{200}{10}

Worth of bonds = $20  

So the fed needs to purchase bonds worth $20 from the banks to increase money supply by $200.
