Answer: return on equity

Explanation:

The return on equity is simply a measure of how profitable a business will be when it's being compared to its equity. Return on equity is the net income divided by the equity. It can also be gotten when liabilities is deducted from assets.

In the above analysis, return on equity equals 5% because 100 cents make 1 dollar. Therefore, 5/100 × 100 gives 5%.

monitta

Answer:

If Mary and Tim specialize in the good in which they have a comparative advantage, ______.

Mary would specialize in making cakes while Tim would specialize in making pies.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Mary's opportunity cost of making a cake = 2 pies

She can make additional 5 (10/2) cakes instead of making pies

This will increase her cakes to 25 a day (20 + 5)

Tim's opportunity cost of making a cake = 4 pies

She can make additional 40 pies (10 * 4) instead of making cakes

This will increase her pies to 60 pies a day (20 + 40)

When they specialize there will be 25 cakes and 60 pies produced in a day instead of 30 cakes and 30 pies.

Rachel is preparing to open her own raft rental business, cleverly named Rachel's Rafts. She figures out that her fixed costs wi

Arisa [49]

Answer:

selling price= $5

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed cost= $7,500

Unitary variable cost= $2

Break-even point= 2,500 units

<u>The break-even point is the number of units to sell to cover the fixed costs. At this level, net income is zero.</u>

So given the costs structure and 2,500 units to sell, the selling price that provides the break-even point is:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ (selling price - unitary variable cost)

2,500 = 7,500 / (selling price - 2)

2,500selling price - 5,000 = 7,500

2,500selling price = 12,500

selling price = 12,500 / 2,500

selling price= $5

A 30-year zero coupon bond with a face value of $5,000 is currently selling for $1,156.88 and has a market rate of interest of 5

daser333 [38]

Answer:

Price will increase by $277.58

Explanation:

Market rate of Interest of a zero coupon bond can be determined by following formula

Market Rate of Interest = [ ( F / P )^(1/30) ] - 1

4.25% = [ ( $5000 / P )^(1/30) ] - 1

0.0425 + 1 = ( $5000 / P )^1/30

( 1.0425 )^30 = (( $5000 / P )^1/30)^30

3.4856 = $5000 / P

P = $5,000 / 3.4856

P = $1,434.46

Now Calculate the change in Price

Change in price = $1,434.46 - $1,156.88 = $277.58

Price will increase by $277.58

The following standards for variable manufacturing overhead have been established for a company that makes only one product:

Marianna [84]

Answer:

variable overhead efficiency variance= $22,780 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard hours per unit of output 7.0 hours

Standard variable overhead rate $ 13.40 per hour

Actual hours 2,725 hours

The actual output of 150 units

To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Standard quantity= 150*7= 1,050 hours

variable overhead efficiency variance= (1,050 - 2,750)*13.4

variable overhead efficiency variance= $22,780 unfavorable
