I would ask them if they were comfortable with a fluctuating rate, which though at the moment is lower than the fixed rate, could go up in the future. I would also ask them if they needed to be sure of the rate say for example for a 5 year term like in a mortgage for peace of mind or if they are willing to take a risk with the fluctuations. If the latter, I would tell them that at any time they could lock it in for a 5 year term if they saw it going up.
Answer:
the net operating income is 4.560
Explanation:
Net operating income is a calculation of revenues less cost, minus all reasonably necessary operating expenses. Having said that we can determine that the fixed expenses are included in the necessary operanting expenses unless they include depreciations and amortization. Since the text doesn’t refer to the fixed expenses as depreciations or amortization the calculation is this:
Calculate the cost if the contribution margin is 12%
Cost is equal to = (Revenue*(1-contribution ratio))= (738.000*(1-0.12))= 649.440
Then calculate the net operating income
Net operating income = (Revenue – Cost-operating expenses) = (738.000-649.440-84.000) = 4.560
Answer:
-0.10
Explanation:
To calculate this, we us the formula for calculating elasticity of demand (E) relevant for the demand equation as follow:
E = (P / Q) * (dQ / dP) .............................. (1)
Where,
Q = 30
P = 90
E = -0.3
dQ / dP = b = ?
We then substitute all the value into equation (1) and have:
-0.3 = (90 / 30) * b
-0.3 = 3 * b
b = -0.3 /3
b = -0.10
Therefore, appropriate value for the price coefficient (b) in a linear demand function Q is -0.10.
NB:
Although this not part of the question, but note that how the linear demand function will look can be obtained by first solving for the constant term (a) as follows:
Q = a - 0.10P
Substituting for Q and P, we can solve for a as follows:
30 = a – (0.1 * 90)
30 = a – 9
a = 30 + 9 = 39
Therefore, the linear demand equation can be stated as follows:
Q = 39 – 0.1P
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Whenever, there will be reduced production costs, due to any reason in the economy, then the goods will be cheaper and accordingly the sale will be in abundance assuming other factors remain constant.
Thus, due to subsidies the cost to producers will be less and then exporters will not be able to get more share as domestic goods will cost cheaper.
Thus, there will not be any gain to foreign competitors in our domestic markets, as they will not get any share extra rather they will loose as a foreign competitor. In fact goods which are exported will also cost low, and therefore, will gain new customers.
Therefore, above stated statement is false.
