Answer:

Advertisement doesn't exist in perfect competition markets. Perfect competition markets are theoretical only, since they do not exist in reality although some markets resemble or are similar, e.g. commodities. One of the characteristics of perfect competition markets is that every participant possesses perfect information regarding the products' characteristics and price. If everyone knows a product perfectly, then there is no reason why you should advertise it.

Answer:

The Oklahoma City Zoo

A. What is the B/C ratio?

The B/C ratio is the benefit/cost ratio.

B. What is the B-C?

The benefits = $63,000 (90,000 x $0.70)  in the first year

Additional visits = 27,500 x 9 = 247,500

Additional benefits = $173,250 (247,500 x $0.70)

Total benefits = $236,250

The costs =

Initial cost = $305,000

Upkeep, etc = $800,000 ($80,000 x 10 years)

Less salvage value = $63,000

Interest cost = $213,500 (7% of $305,000 x 10 years)

Total costs = $1,255,500

B/C ratio = $236,250/1,255,500 x 100 = 19% approx.

Explanation:

The B/C or Benefit/Cost Ratio is a financial measure that compares the benefits of a project with the costs associated with the project.  It attempts to show how the benefits will outweigh the costs.

The benefits that will accrue from the project when compared to the costs will be 19%.  This implies that less benefit will be derived from the project.

Sales in North Corporation increased from $80,000 per year to $84,000 per year while net operating income increased from $30,000
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial sales = $80,000

New sales = $84,000

Initial net operating income = $30,000

New net operating income = $36,000

The degree of operating leverage is determined by dividing the percentage change in net operating income by the percentage change in the sales.

Percentage change in net operating income:

= [(New net operating income - Initial net operating income) ÷ Initial net operating income] × 100

= [($36,000 - $30,000) ÷ $30,000] × 100

= ($6,000 ÷ $30,000) × 100

= 0.2 × 100

= 20%

Percentage change in sales:

= [(New sales - Initial sales) ÷ Initial sales] × 100

= [($84,000 - $80,000) ÷ $80,000] × 100

= ($4,000 ÷ $80,000) × 100

= 0.05 × 100

= 5%

Degree of operating leverage:

= Percentage change in net operating income ÷ Percentage change in sales

= 20 ÷ 5

= 4 times

8-12 REQUIRED RATE OF RETURN Suppose rRF 9%, rM 14%, and bi 1 3. a. What is ri, the required rate of return on Stock i? b. Now s
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

a = 0.74 or 74%

b(1) = 0.75 or 75%

b(2) = 0.73 or 73%

c(1) = 1 or 1%

c(2) = 0.61 or 61%

Explanation:

The stock i has a risk free rate of 9% with a market return of 14% and beta of 13, using the formula we get,

ri = rRF + bi x (rM – rRF)

Where rRF=9/100=0.09

bi =13

rm =14/100=0.14

Putting the values into the formula

= 0.09 + 13 x (0.14 – 0.09)

= 0.74 or 74%

b. (1)

Ri = rRF + bi x (rM – rRF)= 0.10 + 13 x (0.14 – 0.09)= 0.75 or 75%

Here the slope of SML remains constant, meaning the market risk premium will not change. As a result, the required return will increase by 1%.

b(2)

Ri = rRF + bi x (rM – rRF)= 0.08 + 13 X (0.14 – 0.09)= 0.73 or 73%

Here, the slope of SML remains constant, meaning the market risk premium will not change. As a result the required return will decrease by 1%.

c. (1)

Ri = rRF + bi x (rM – rRF)= 0.09 + 13 x (0.16 – 0.09)= 1 or 1%

Here, the slope of SML does not remain constant, meaning the market risk premium will change. As a result, the required return will increase.

(2)Ri = rRF + bi x (rM – rRF)= 0.09 + 13 x (0.13 – 0.09)=0.61 or 61%

Here, the slope of SML remains constant, meaning the market risk premium will not change. As a result, the required return will decrease by 13%.

In forecasting, a tracking signal is used to: a. Determine if the forecast bias is within the acceptable control limits b. Measu
sladkih [1.3K]

The role of the tracking signal when used in forecasting is to a. Determine if the forecast bias is within the acceptable control limits.

<h3>What is the purpose of the tracking signal?</h3>

When events are forecasted, it is not possible that this is done with absolute certainty as there will be some forecast bias. This bias will have to be within a certain range to make the forecasting less risky.

The tracking signal is therefore used to ensure that the range of the forecast bias is within the accepted parameters that were set.
