Answer:

d) will become an importer of tomatoes.

Explanation:

Consumer surplus would increase because the price at which they buy tomatoes would reduce while producer surplus would reduce because the price of tomatoes would reduce as a result of international trade.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.Because the price of tomatoes in the US is greater than the price of tomatoes in the world, when the US begins international trade, it would import tomatoes because it is inefficient in the production of tomatoes.  

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product

Mekhanik [1.2K]
Option 1: PV = $400,000
Option 2: Receive (FV) $432,000 in one year

PV = FV(1/(1+i)^n), where i= 8% = 0.08, n = 1 year

PV = 432,000(1/(1+0.08)^1) = $400,000

Option 3: Receive (A) $40,000 each year fro 20 years

PV= A{[1-(1+i)^-n]/i} where, n = 20 years

PV = 40,000{[1-(1+0.08)^-20]/0.08} = $392,725.90

Option 4: Receive (A) $36,000 each year from 30 years
PV = 36,000{[1-(1+0.08)^-30]/0.08} = $405,280.20

On the basis of present value computations above, option 4 is the best option for Kerry Blales. This option has the highest present value of $405,280.20

What is a BFOQ? Should BFOQs be allowed?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

In employment law, a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) (US) or bona fide occupational requirement (BFOR) (Canada) or genuine occupational qualification (GOQ) (UK) is a quality or an attribute that employers are allowed to consider when making decisions on the hiring and retention of employees—a quality that when considered in other contexts would constitute discrimination and thus be in violation of civil rights employment law. Such qualifications must be listed in the employment offering.[citation needed]

Explanation:

Canada

The law of Canada regarding bona fide occupational requirements was considered in a 1985 Canadian court case involving an employee of the Canadian National Railway, K. S. Bhinder, a Sikh whose religion required that he wear a turban, lost his challenge of the CNR policy that required him to wear a hard hat.[1] In 1990, in deciding another case, the Supreme Court of Canada amended the Bhinder decision: "An employer that has not adopted a policy with respect to accommodation and cannot otherwise satisfy the trier of fact that individual accommodation would result in undue hardship will be required to justify his conduct with respect to the individual complainant. Even then the employer can invoke the BFOQ defence."[2]

United States

In employment discrimination law in the United States, both Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act contain a BFOQ defense. The BFOQ provision of Title VII provides that:

[I]t shall not be an unlawful employment practice for an employer to hire and employ employees, for an employment agency to classify, or refer for employment any individual, for a labor organization to classify its membership or to classify or refer for employment any individual, or for an employer, labor organization, or joint labor-management committee controlling apprenticeship or other training or retraining programs to admit or employ any individual in any such program, on the basis of his religion, sex, or national origin in those certain instances where religion, sex, or national origin is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of that particular business or enterprise ...[3]

All of the following questions are open-ended problems. You must compute an answer for every problem. For percentage answers, ca
DerKrebs [107]

Solution :

13. Net income = total assets x ROA

                   = $ 1,000,000 x 12%

                  = $ 120,000

Net Income for company is $120,000.

Net Profit margin = 4.25%

Total sales = net income / net profit margin

                  = $ 120,000 / 4.25%

                  = $ 2,823,529

Total sales for company is $ 2,823,529

14. Debt ratio = 72%

   So weight of debt = 72%

   Weight of equity = 1 - 72%

                                = 28%

   Debt equity ratio  $=\frac{72 \%}{28 \%}$  

                                 =  2.57

   Debt equity ratio is 2.57

15. Debt ratio = 42.50%

So, weight of debt = 42.50%

Weight of equity = 1 - 42.50%

                             = 57.50%

Weight of equity is 57.50%.

Return on equity = 15%.

Return on assets = 57.50% × 15%

                            = 8.625%

Return on assets is 8.625%.

16.

Debt Equity ratio = 1.45

Weight of debt = 59.18%

Weight of equity = 40.82%

Return on assets = 16%

Return on equity = 16% / 40.82%

                              = 39.20%

Return on equity is 39.20%.

17.

Total Assets turnover = Sales / Total Assets

                                     = (Net Income / Total Assets) / (Net Income / Sales)

                                    = ROA / Net Profit margin

                                      = 7.50% / 15%

                                      = 0.50

Total Assets turnover is 0.50.
