Answer:

a. The total profit would be positively affected as it increases

Explanation:

1. We calculate the value of revenue per 8000 gallons with the initial chemical compound and processed into the new variant

Revenue Initial Chemical Compound= 8000 gallons X ($52/gallon)

Revenue Initial Chemical Compound=<em><u> $ 416.000</u></em>

Revenue Chemical compound processed into the new variant=8000 gallons X ($83/gallon)

Revenue Chemical compound  processed into the new variant= <u><em>$ 664.000</em></u>

2. If we consider that the other production costs will be the same for the two chemical compounds, then the only difference will be the processing cost to refine the basic compound into the new variant. For this reason, we substract only the value of processing the basic compound into the new variant for the revenue of this.

<u><em>$ 664.000 - $160.000= $504.000</em></u>

3. The benefit values for each case are:

Initial Chemical Compound: $416.000

Chemical compound  processed into the new variant: $504.000

In conclusion, greater benefit is obtained by processing the basic compound in the new variant than if the basic compound were sold only

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

c. 25 percent.

Explanation:

The computation of the reserve requirement percentage is shown below:

Given that

Deposits made = $8,000

Loans = $6,000

So the required reserve is

= deposits made - loans

= $8,000 - $6,000

= $2,000

Now the required reserve is

= $2,000 ÷ $8,000

= 25%

Hence, the correct option is c. 25 percent

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered

Leya [2.2K]

Answer: C. The beta coefficient of a stock is normally found by regressing past returns on a stock against past market returns. One could also construct a scatter diagram of returns on the stock versus those on the market, estimate the slope of the line of best fit, and use it as beta. However, this historical beta may differ from the beta that exists in the future.

Explanation:

The beta coefficient is used by an economic entity to measure how volatile an individual stock is when such stock is being compared to the market's systematic risk.

Of the options given in the question, the correct answer is option C which states that "C.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

buying a franchise of a well-established restaurant.

Explanation:

A franchise business model is a business arrangement where the owner or 'franchisor' sells the rights of a business to ' franchisee' who operates an independent outlet.  The rights that a franchisee acquires include business name, logo,  business and operating models.  Examples of known franchises are MacDonald,  subway, and Starbucks.

The biggest advantage Eduardo will gain by purchasing a franchise is that he will get instant access to a well-established brand name.  Eduardo does not need to spend resources on creating a name, or products to introduce to customers. An established franchise will provide him with customers,  a management model, and a chance to succeed.
