Answer:

($1,100,000)

Given that

Loans made to affiliated corporations = $1,400,000

Proceeds from sale of Equipment = $300,000

Answer:

qualified acquisition debt = $750,000

qualified home equity debt = $0

This limit was reduced due to the TCJA of 2017, and will remain in place until 2025. After 2025, the limit will return to the normal $1,000,000.

Certain amount of interests on qualified home equity loans will also return in 2025, but currently they are not deductible.

Ms. Finkel has suggested that if given sufficient resources, she could redesign the production process to reduce the percentage

liubo4ka [24]

Explanation:

To find the probability that the sample which fails to meet the required weight or the standard weight of the marshmallows having banana flavor if the process of production is working, such that probability for the weekly sample leads to shutdown of the production if the process of the production is running properly of 1 % of the probability that at least five boxes out of the twenty five sample fails to meet the standard weight which is less than one percent that is $p(x \geq 5) \leq 0.01$

We know that for p = 0.8, $p(x \geq 5) = 0.0452$

Now using binomial simulation, we can determine that $p(x \geq 5) \leq 0.01$ for p = 0.0452

So the production process is to be redesigned for reducing the percentage of boxes of the Go Bananas of 16 ounces which failed to meet the required weight of the marshmallows having banana flavor if the production process is working properly to 5.42 percent.

A competitive firm currently produces and sells 7,500 units of output at a price of $2.50 per unit. The firm's average fixed cos

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

A. $-2,250

B. The firm should continue to operate in the short run because price is greater than average variable cost

C.The firm should exit in the long run because it is making losses

D. In the long run, prices would increase because in a competitive firm, price must equal average cost. As firms exit the industry, supply would fall and this would lead to an excess of demand over supply. As a result, price would rise

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

( $2.50 - $2.80) × 7,500 = $-2,250

The firm is earning a loss

A firm should shutdown in the short run if price is less than average variable cost.

Average variable cost = average total cost- average total cost

$2.80 - $0.75 = $2.05

2.50 > 2.05 so the firm should continue to operate in the short run.

The firm should exit in the long run because it is making losses

In the long run, prices would increase because in a competitive firm, price must equal average cost

I hope my answer helps you.
