Answer:

The correct answers are letters "B" and "C": Market control by a few large firms; Either homogeneous or differentiated products.

Explanation:

An Oligopoly is when a small group of two or more companies dominates a market. Oligopoly firms may consent to <em>market collusion</em>, and <em>create barriers</em> to new trade entry. If the companies do not, they are likely to be forced to lower their prices and open the market to newer smaller companies.

The <em>ability to set prices, having homogeneous or distinctive products </em>and <em>price rigidity</em> are some other characteristics of oligopolies.

Industry averages for the following profitability ratios are as follows:

Gross profit ratio 45 %

Gross profit ratio: = Gross profit/Sales * 100

= $8,110,000/$20,710,000 * 100

= 39.2%

Return on assets = Net income/Assets * 100

= $1,980,000/$9,900,000 * 100

= 20%

Profit margin = Net Income/Sales * 100

= $1,980,000/$20,710,000 * 100

= 9.6%

Asset turnover = Sales/Total Assets

= $20,710,000/$9,900,000 = 2.1 times

Return on equity = Net Income/Total Equity * 100

= $1,980,000/$5,300,000 * 100

= 37.4%

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Journal Entry

a) Debit Capital- Benson $138,000 Credit Capital-North $138,000

b) Debit Capital- Benson $138,000 Credit Capital-Schmidt $138,000

c) Debit Capital-Benson $138,000 Credit Bank $138,000

d) Debit Capital-Benson $138,000 Debit Capital-Meir $28,500 Debit Capital-Lau $47,500 Credit Bank $214,000

e) Debit Capital-Benson $138,000 Debit Accumulated Depreciation $23,000 Credit Cash $30,000 Credit Equipment $70,000 Credit Capital-Meir $22,875 Credit Capital-Lau $38,125

Explanation:

a and b are the same with the same amount of capital transferred from one partner to another partner, it is just a matter of derecognizing Benson and recognize North or Schmidt.

c) Partner Benson is paid cash her capital,

d) decrease in meir's Capital = 214,000-138,000 = 76,000*3/8= $28,500

   Decrease in Lau's Capital Account = $76,000 5/8 = 47,500

Excess funds are taken from capitals or income summary account of the partnership which will affect the capitals of the remaining partners

e)  Meir's Capital = $138,000 -(70,000-23,000+30,000)

                            = $138,000-77,000

                           = $61,000*3/8 =$22,875

Lau = $61,000*5/8 =38,125

The Capital Accounts of the remaining partners will increase because of the gain made on buying out the leaving partner.

he Yachtsman Fund had NAV per share of $36.12 on January 1, 2016. On December 31 of the same year, the fund's NAV was $39.71. In
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: 14.84%

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of return the investors received we will do a simple return formula to find out by how much, in terms of the Opening NAV, the fund has increased.

To find out how much the fund has increased by we can add up all the figures then deduct the opening balance.

= 39.71 + 0.64 + 1.13 - 36.12

= $5.36

$5.36 is the how much the fund has increased by.

Expressing it in percentage of the opening NAV per share we have,

= 5.36/36.12

= 0.14839424141

= 14.84%

14.84% is the rate of return that an investor received on the Yachtsman Fund in 2016.
