Bassett Fruit Farm expects its EBIT to be $373,000 a year forever. Currently, the firm has no debt. The cost of equity is 13.2 p
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is $1,836,742.42.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

EBIT = $373,000

Cost of equity = 13.2%

Tax rate = 35%

So, we can calculate the unlevered value of the firm by using following formula:

Unlevered value of the firm = EBIT × (1 - TAX RATE) ÷ COST OF EQUITY

By putting the value, we get

Unlevered value of the firm = $373,000 × ( 1 - 35%) ÷ 13.2%

= $373,000 × 0.65 ÷ 0.132

= $242,450 ÷ 0.132

= $1,836,742.42

When making any type of business you have to register it. I'm making an online store. When I register my website domain does tha
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

In this question, it is asked about two things. Registering and business and registering a website.

First, we explore registering a business, and then we will explore registering a website.

Registering a business:

In any economy or any country, if you are making any type of business and it is legally approved by that government, then it is your moral duty to register the business because government collect taxes from registered business and give benefit in return to those whose business is registered.

To register a business, it requires you to register your business with company registration institution. The business that has registration considered authentic and legally proved business and everyone can trust these businesses while dealing. Government gives incentives and benefits to registered business and solve their issues if they have any, for example, to do import and export, the government facilitate you in this regard.

Registering a business website:

Registering a business website is like to make your online existence that everyone globally approaches you. Registering a business and registering a website, both are different things. Registering a business website, or getting a domain for your site, does not count as registering it. The procedures for registering a business in any country is different than registering or getting a domain name for your website. for example, if I am in Pakistan, and I want to register my website, it might chances that I will register it on Microsoft cloud or google cloud. This registration does not contribute and give benefit to Pakistan in the collection of tax. And the government does not give me incentive as likes others who have registered their business with registration body.

You are the curator of a museum. The museum is running short of funds, so you decide to increase revenue. What should you do to
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer and explanation:

Demand elasticity measures the changes in quantity demanded as the result of changes in price. Demand elasticity is calculated by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price. If the result is equal or higher than one (1) the product is <em>elastic </em>but if the result is lower than 1 the product is <em>inelastic</em>.

In the case, <em>as the elasticity of demand of the museum ticket is 0.45 it means the museum tickets is inelastic. This scenario implies that in front of changes of price the quantity demanded will not change. Thus, as a curator of the museum you should </em><u><em>increase the museum ticket price to increase revenue</em></u><em>.</em>
