Business
1 answer:
Alex_Xolod [135]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Lorenz curve can be understood as a graphical representation of distribution of wealth or income among the population in a given economy.

Explanation:

Lorenz Curve was proposed by Max O. Lorenz in the year 1905 to represent inequality in the distribution of income among the given population. This curve illustrates that the distribution of wealth is not equal, where one section of the population has all the wealth or income of the economy and the other section of the population is left with none. Whereas in the case of perfect equality, each section of the population should receive an equal amount of wealth of the economy. This means that N% of the society should always have N% of income and not more and not less than that. Thus, this situation is hypothetical and thus, the idea of the Lorenz Curve comes into consideration.

<span>Your task is to take this and construct a graphical representation of the data. in doing so, you determine that as the price of soup rises, the quantity of soup demanded decreases. This confirms the Law of Supply and Demand which states that the supply is inversely proportional to the demand. Simply speaking, whenever there is an increase in the price, the supplier tends to produce an excess supply even though the demand is low to generate a greater profit.</span>

"Falling oil prices have caused a sharp decrease in the supply of oil." Speaking precisely, and using terms as they are defined
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The answer is: D) The quotation is incorrect: A decrease in price causes a decrease in quantity supplied, not a decrease in supply.

Explanation:

A decrease in the price of a product or service will always decrease the quantity supplied and increase the quantity demanded of the product. The terms supply and demand apply to the entire curve, not an specific point in them.  

For example, the equilibrium point for milk is 5 million gallons sold at $3 each. If the government suddenly decides that it will place a price ceiling for milk at $2 per gallon (may use argument that it is a necessity good essential for the well being of children) the quantity demanded for milk will rise but the quantity supplied will fall.

That is because not every dairy business will be able to produce and sell milk at $2 and still make a profit (or meet their expected profit levels), so they will either lower their milk production (make substitute products) or go out of business.

kaheart [24]
<h2>Basic research is the least likely to result in product innovation that have near-term commercial application</h2>

Explanation:

Basic research, is otherwise called pure research. This is the first step in production innovation. This is followed by "applied research", then "innovation development", then to go for "production-sales-market".

The information gathered here will be very light or a starter. It is not possible to foresee all the outcomes or the benefits which is achieved in the basic research.

We cannot even predict the types of research knowledge which might add a value to the future changes

A. 17.2, B. 15.12 C.12% D. 18.7%
loris [4]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Cost of Equity (Ke) = Rf + Beta ( Rp)

where,

Rf = risk free rate

Rp = Market risk premium

Hence,

Beta systematic risk :

= 7% + 1.7 (6%)

= 7% + 10.2%

= 17.2%

Post Tax cost of debt:

=  Kd ( 1 - T)

where,

Kd = cost of debt

T = tax rate

= 20% * (1-0.4)

= 12%

WACC = [ (Ke × We) + (Wd × Kd(1-T)) ]

where,

We = weight of equity

Wd = weight of debt

             = [(17.2% × 0.6) + (0.4 × 20% × (1 - 0.4))]

             = 10.32% + 4.80%

             = 15.12%
