Answer:

<u>a. High inflation rates</u>

Explanation:

Note that<em> a major role of a corporate finance manager </em>is to maximize the profits of a business by providing advice as to mergers as well as buying and selling financial products.

Therefore, according to reports David Jimenez in the early 1980s was faced with the problems of high inflation rates which meant a rise in the cost of production etc for companies or businesses under his care.

Answer:

The correct answer is GDP would definitely increase because GDP excludes leisure.

Explanation:

The GDP does not measure the level of development of a country, nor does it measure the quality or level of its educational system or its health. Come on, that the quality of life in general is not measurable by GDP, although it is true that countries with a higher GDP per capita can afford better health or education services, as well as better infrastructure and services in general.

It does not measure the state of the environment or the damage caused to it or natural resources by the economic activity carried out. In other words, GDP does not report externalities, that is, it does not reflect the total social benefits and costs derived from economic activity.

GDP does not measure the quality of the goods and services produced. The GDP figures are only numbers that do not take into account exactly what is being produced or what is the quality of what is produced. This prevents, for example, comparing production between different eras. Does a computer add up to GDP now than in the 80s? The answer is no. Does a country of services add up to an oil exporter? The answer is also no.

It ignores the value of elements that contribute to maintaining the level of well-being of the population, such as leisure or freedom. In freer countries or in which its inhabitants have more leisure time and better options in which to invest it, well-being is much greater.

Why do economists generally favor deregulation of most industries?

Kazeer [188]

Sorry this description is a bit confusing but i couldn't really think of a way to phrase it properly :)

most economists believe that deregulation has the potential to be helpful because the fact that things aren't regulated by the government increases competition in people selling the same wares, which normally ends up lowering the price of that specific good and/or improving the quality of the good drastically (which means more people will be buying, it whatever it may be, which is good for the economy)

QS 19-10 Computing contribution margin LO P2 D’Souza Company sold 6,000 units of its product at a price of $88.00 per unit. Tota

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

$218,400

Explanation:

The computation of contribution margin is here below:-

Units Cost per unit Total

Sales 6,000 $88 $528,000

Less:

Variable production cost 6,000 $40.8 $244,800

Variable selling and

administrative costs 6,000 $10.8 $64,800

Contribution margin $218,400

Therefore the we multiplied the sale unit with cost per unit, in the similar way we multiplied the Variable production cost unit with cost per unit and Variable selling and administrative costs with cost per unit to reach the contribution margin.

o-na [289]

Answer:

Cost Advantage of different locations:

b. $20,000

Phoenix certainly had a cost advantage over Atlanta and based on this factor, it should be chosen for the new plant instead of any other city.

Explanation:

a) Total Costs of different locations:

Atlanta Phoenix

Fixed Cost $80,000 $140,000

Variable cost 400,000 320,000

Total Costs $480,000 $460,000

b) Variable costs

Atlanta Phoenix

Annual Demand 20,000 20,000

Variable cost/unit $20 $16

Total variable cost $400,000 $320,000

c) Cost Advantage is the competitive edge which location (or company) can have over another through reduced production or marketing costs or both so that it can offer cheaper prices or use excess profits to bolster promotion or distribution. In this case, the comparison is on the total cost, which is made of variable and fixed costs.
