Answer:
Total disbursement for Q2 $579,43
Explanation:
We will assume the sales are purchase are uniform during the year.
therefore days 1-30 sales are paid within the quarter
and day 31 to 90 are paid the next quarter:
Q1:
Purchase for Q2 x 65% = 660 x 65% = 429
Q2:
dividends = 60 dollars
wages taxes and other 660 x 16% = 105.6
<u>payment to suppliers</u>
remainder of next quarter:
660 x 65% x 2/3 =286
payment of this quarter purchase:
590 x 65% x 1/3 = 383,5 x 1/3 = 127,83
Total disbursements:
60 + 105.6 + 286 + 127.83 = 579,43
Answer:
(a) increase its dividend;
dividends are increased for two reasons:
- the company has excess cash and it doesn't have any possible investments on hand
- the board and upper management want to increase the stock price and higher dividends always result in higher stock prices, even if it is only in the short run.
(b) buy back some of its common stock shares;
- the company has excess cash and the board and upper management believe that the stock price is too low.
(c) pay down some of its debt;
- the company has excess cash and it considers that the cost of its debt is too high and it can get cheaper financing from other sources if needed.
(d) increase its use of internal financing;
- the board and upper management considers that the company needs to invest in new or existing projects and they consider that the financing costs are too high. Also, on the long run if things work well, the stock price should increase.
(e) take the public firm private
- the company has excess cash and the board and upper management believe that the stock price is too low. It is similar to (b) only on an extreme situation.
Answer:
C. Production Possibility frontier
Explanation:
The production possibility frontier (PPF) is a graph that shows what levels of output of two goods can be produced using available resources and technology.
Just individuals can not have everything they want and must make choices between different goods, society as a whole also can't have everything it might want either. This PPF depicts constraints faced between the resources
The main mechanism that regulates the market system is the
government. It is because they are the one that sets up and regulates the
system and allows the mechanism of the system to continue as the government is
the one that enforces and controls the demand and supply in the market system.
Answer: 6520 + 3x
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to calculate the variable cost per hour which will be:
= (Highest activity cost – Lowest activity cost)/(Highest activity hour – Lowest activity hour)
= (9460 - 7300)/(980 - 260)
= 2160 / 720
= 3
We'll also find the fixed cost which will be:
= Fixed cost = Highest activity cost – (Variable cost per hour x Highest activity hour)
= 9460 - ( 3 x 980)
= 9460 - 2940
= 6520
Therefore, the cost function will be:
= 6520 + 3x
