Answer:

C) I, II, and III only.

I. May demand payment of the full amount immediately from the sureties when the corporation defaults on the loan.
II. May demand payment of the full amount immediately from the sureties even if Reuter does not attempt to recover any amount from the collateral.
III. May attempt to recover up to $200,000 from the collateral and the remainder from the sureties, even if the remainder is more than $300,000.

Explanation:

The bank has several options in this case, depending on the financial position and net worth of the sureties and the corporation. It can decide to collect all the debt directly from them, or collect part of the debt through the collateral property, or it can go after the assets of the corporation, or any type of combination. In this case the bank has three options from which it can collect the debt and it is up to them to decide how they proceed.

Part b

0.6 or 60 %

Part c

Break-even sales (units) = 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = $1,920,000

Part d

See attachment

Part e

Margin of safety in dollars = $960,000

Margin of safety in percentage = 33.3 %

Part f

Operating Leverage = 3.00

Explanation:

Income Statement :

Sales - Expenses = Income

Note : I have separated Variable and Fixed Expenses

Contribution Margin ratio :

Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

= $1,728,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 0.6 or 60 %

Break-even sales ( units and dollars) :

Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

= $1,152,000 ÷ $144.00

= 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $1,152,000 ÷ 0.60

= $1,920,000

Margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales :

Margin of safety in dollars = Expected Sales (dollars) - Break-even sales (dollars)

= $2,880,000 - $1,920,000

= $960,000

Margin of safety in % = (Expected Sales - Break-even sales ) ÷ Expected Sales

= $960,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 33.3 %

Operating leverage

Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax

= $1,728,000 ÷ $576,000

= 3.00

If an economy is producing at a point on its production possibilities frontier, it is: a.efficient in production and allocation.

irinina [24]

Answer:

d.efficient in production but not necessarily in allocation.

Explanation:

The production possibility curve portrays the cost of society's choice between two different goods. An economy that operates at the frontier has the highest standard of living it can achieve, as it is producing as much as it can using the same resources. If the amount produced is inside the curve, then all of the resources are not being used.

- all points on the curve are points of maximum productive efficiency

- However, an economy may achieve productive efficiency without necessarily being allocatively efficient. Market failure (such as imperfect competition or externalities) and some institutions of social decision-making (such as government and tradition) may lead to the wrong combination of goods being produced (hence the wrong mix of resources being allocated between producing the two goods) compared to what consumers would prefer, given what is feasible on the PPF.

Real per capita GDP in South Korea in 1957 was about $400, but it doubled to about $800.00 by 1978. a. What was the average annu

miskamm [114]

Answer:

3.33%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Real per capita GDP in South Korea in 1957 = $400

per capita GDP in South Korea in 1978 = $800

Total number of years taken to double the GDP = 21 years

Now,

Using the Rule of 70, which states that

Number of years to double the GDP = 70 ÷ (average annual economic growth rate )

thus,

21 years = 70 ÷ average annual economic growth rate

Average annual economic growth rate = 3.33%

Imagine that the U.S. economy has an initial unemployment rate equal to the natural rate of unemployment. Identify each event as

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Explanation:

Let’s explore one by one as proposed:

An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.

The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.

American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).

Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.

U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.

The primary difference between product markets and factor markets is that

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The primary difference between product markets and factor markets is that:

Product markets are markets related to products, goods, tangible finished items. This is where you'll get your product for sale and where people will buy it.

while

Factor markets are for the factors of production, mostly intangible, like labor, capital and entrepreneurial skills. This is what you'll use (including raw materials) to make your product.
