Answer: The problem of this plan is that their income will not be able to break even, because their cost price will be grater than the selling price. Which may cause the new company to wind up

Explanation: break even is a point where the cost price is equal to the selling price. This means that profit nor loss were not made.

Because Avis and Hertz are offering rentals at a prices below average variable cost, the company may not be able to meet up with capital for production of more cars, and this will cause them to wind up.

For a new company, it is always advisable to keep it's selling price a little bit above or the same with it's cost Price, because the strength not any business is the ability to produce more to fill the space of scarcity.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It does not necessarily means that when a firm gets a normal rate of return, it earns economic profit also, as it depends on various factors:

  • In the short run every firm aims to recover its variable cost, and in it's long term duration to recover its total cost, but it does not necessarily conclude that the return will attain the level of earning economic profit.
  • Normal rate of return is based on competitive market, as an average rate of return on market, but if the investment is made from borrowed funds, it might be that the company is not able to pay the cost of borrowing in that case it is even after attaining the normal rate of return it will not earn economic profit.

Which bond would you expect to pay the highest interest rate?
UNO [17]

Answer:

The bond that should pay the highest interest rate is:

d. a bond issued by a new restaurant chain.

Explanation:

This is based on the fact that the new restaurant chain is untested, has higher risk profile and the bondholders are assuming higher risks, and the bond cannot be compared to the bonds issued by the US government, New York State, and General Motors, in that order.  The new restaurant chain will be offering a higher rate of return than others because it is new to the bond market and would like to attract potential bond investors.   Without the higher rate, therefore, it will not be successful in the bond issuance.
