Answer:

15%

Explanation:

The maximum rate of return that would be paid to borrow an additional $4,000 needed can be calculated as

Rate of return =\frac{Amount of interest}{Amount borrowed}

Rate of return = $600/$4000

Rate of return = 0.15 or 15%

NOTE: The amount of interest is the difference of interest earned at higher yield and interest earned at a lower yield.

Interest earned (higher yield) = $10,000 x 8%

Interest earned (higher yield) = $800

Interest earned (lower yield) = $14,000 x 10%

Interest earned (lower yield) = $1,400

Difference = $1,400-$800

Difference = $600

In​ economics, the short run is the time frame in which​ ______ and the long run is the period of time in which​ ______. A. the
Marina86 [1]

Answer:the quantities of some factors of production are​ fixed; the quantities of all factors of production can be varied - D

Explanation:

In the short run, some factors of production are fixed, which is usually the capital. Therefore for a company to increase output, it would need employ more workers, but would not increase capital.

Therefore in the short run, we can get diminishing marginal returns, which may cause marginal costs to start increasing quickly.

Also, in the short run, prices and wages fall out of equilibrium because a sudden rise in demand may lead to higher prices, and companies may not have the the capacity to respond and increase supply.

Long run

In the long run, usually greater than 6 months, all main factors of production are variable. The company has time to build a bigger one making it respond to changes in demand which means that a sudden rise in demand, would have a complimentary increase in supply to meet the demands and prices can be adjusted.

Pre-Fab purchased some machinery two years ago for $337,600. These assets are classified as five-year property for MACRS. The MA
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

$153,566.80

Explanation:

Book value of old machine = Machinery Cost*(1 - Accumulated depreciation)

Book value of old machine = $337,600*(1 - 0.20 - 0.32)

Book value of old machine = $337,600*0.48  

Book value of old machine = $162,048

Loss on sale = Sale value - Book value

Loss on sale = $149,000 - $162,048  

Loss on sale = -$13,048

Tax saving due to loss (cash inflow) = $13,048 * 0.35

Tax saving due to loss (cash inflow) = $4,566.80

Total cash inflow = $4,566.8 + $149,000

Total cash inflow = $153,566.80

Therefore, the after-tax salvage value from this sale is $153,566.80.
