Answer:
B. The value of a perpetuity is equal to the sum of the present value of its expected future cash flows.
C. The current value of a perpetuity is based more on the discounted value of its nearer (in time) cash flows and less by the discounted value of its more distant (in the future) cash flows.
Explanation:
A Perpetuity is a financial instrument that pays the holder forever or in perpetuity. For example, a bank paying you $800 per year for ever because you invested $40,000.
There are certain characteristics
Option B
The Perpetuity like most financial Securities has its value based on the underlying cashflows that it can accumulate. This means that it's value is based on the present value of it's future cashflow so the other the cash payments, the higher the present value.
Option C.
As the discounted cashflows in the nearer future will be discounted less by the discount rate as opposed to the cash flows further in future, the cashflows nearer to the present in time will contribute more to the Perpetuity than the cashflows further in time.
For example using that first example, $800 per year at a rate of 5% will be discounted to $762 in the first year but in year 10 will be discounted to $491.
Answer:
d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Explanation:
A marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) can be defined as an economic principle which is typically used to represent the rate at which a factor such as capital must decrease so that the same level or quantity of production is maintained when another factor such as labor is changed (increased).
An isoquant is the slope of a marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) which connects the two input factors provided that the level of output or production is the same.
Also, the diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution refers to the decline (fall) in marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) along an isoquant that produces the same quantity (level) of output.
When an isoquant has a diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution, the corresponding isoquants are convex to the origin. Thus, the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) would continue to diminish as more of a factor such as capital is used.
If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Answer:
1 Depreciation expeense (Debit) $4,200
Accumulated depreciation (Credit) $4,200
2.Bad Debt expense (Dr.) $6,900
Accounts Receivables (Cr.) $6,900
3. Accrued Interest Expense (Dr.) $1,200
Notes Payable (Cr.) $1,200
4. Accrued Income Tax (Dr.) $14,200
Cash (Cr.) $14,200
5. Cash (Dr.) $4,200
Redemption of Gift Cards (Cr.) $4,200
Explanation:
Depreciation expense is considered as a tax shield. The larger the depreciation expense, the lower will be the taxable income. The adjusting entries are required before trial balance is created. There are few transaction that occur after the initial recording of the transactions. These transaction needs to be adjusted before the financial statements preparation.
Answer:
It suggests that they are not doing anything competitively different.
Explanation:
Network externalities if well harnessed should bring about an increase in end users satisfaction and value derived.
Multi housing costs, ordinarily, and when taken as a whole, should results to an overall minimization of the total costs. Economics of scales and other resources are centrally allocated here, and the effect should be a gain to the entity.
Level of differentiation across firm's offerings - products or services, signals the procedures an organization adopt to mark the uniqueness of their products or services. It shows how distant they are among the other varying sets.
Thus, from the case given, the four firms have the same share of the market - 25%. The implication is that as far as we are concerned, their level of activities and postures in the market is same and/or similar. This ultimately cuts across the network externalities, multi housing costs and the level of differentiation of firm's offerings. They are thus not competitively different.
Answer:
The profit-maximizing price is $14, and the profit-maximizing quantity is 8.
Explanation:
This is because for a monopolistically competitive firm, the profit-maximizing quantity occurs where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. What the firm does is looking for the point in the demand curve that is exactly above the marginal cost-marignal revenue intersection, and charges the corresponding price and quantity.
We can see that for the quantity of 8, and the price of $14, both marginal revenue and marginal cost are $8, meaning that these are the quantity and price that are profit-maximizing.
