Answer:(a) $0.58, $0.45, $0.60 (b ) No the industry is not in long run competitive equilibrium (c) The highest possible price is $0.60 (d) The firm did not earn a profit in terms of accounting profit but loss of ($5)

Explanation:

To calculate the ATC

ATC = TC/ Quantity

At 1,200 unit per day

= 700/1,200

= $0.58

At 1,000 unit per day

= 450/1,000

= $0.45

At 700 unit per day

= 425/700

= $0.60

(b) No the industry is not in the long run competitive equilibrium because the cost is not stable it moves from $700 to $450 and then to $$425

(c) The highest possible price that could exist is $0.60

(d) since profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost

Total Revenue = price × Quantity, since the ATC is $0.60 and Total Cost = $425,Quantity = 700

$0.60 × 700 = 420

Therefore $420 - $425 = -$5

Therefore, in Accounting there is no profit but loss of ($5)

Which of the following would result from low labor demand and high labor supply?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

B. Wages decline

Explanation:

Labor is subject to the laws of supply and demand, just like other commodities in the market. Low labor demand means there are only a few job opportunities available. The unemployment rate will be high. The economy will be having too many people without jobs.

An increase in the supply of labor implies more people coming to the job market. The Job market will experience a surplus in labor supply, which will lead to reduced wages. There will be too many jobless people chasing few job opportunities. Employers will consider the lowest labor cost, while desperate job seekers will be willing to accept low wage rates.

Pva inc.'s net income for the most recent year was $16,085. the tax rate was 40 percent. the firm paid $3,896 in total interest
Natalka [10]

cash coverage ratio: <span>

</span>

Earnings Before Interest and Taxes + Non-Cash Expenses / Interest Expense <span>

16,085/(1-tx) = 16,085 / 0.60 = 26,808.33 <earnings before taxes 
add back interest of 3,896 and depreciation of 2,575 = 26,808.33 + 3896 + 2575 = 26,808.33 

solve: 
26,808.33 / 3896<int exp = 6.88 
<span>so cash was 6.88 x interest expense </span></span>

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Dividend yield = 9.67%

Dividend growth rate = Average rate of increase in dividend = 3,8%

Next annual dividend = Annual dividend just paid * (100% + Dividend growth rate) = $2.62 * (100% + 3.8%) = $2.71956

Dividend yield = Next annual dividend / Current share selling price = $2.71956 / $28.12 = 0.0967, or 9.67%
