A store has 5 years remaining on its lease in a mall. Rent is $1, 900 per month, 60 payments remain, and the next payment is due

in 1 month. The mall's owner plans to sell the property in a year and wants rent at that time to be high so that the property will appear more valuable. Therefore, the store has been offered amiddot"great deal" (owner's words) on a new 5-year lease. The new lease calls for no rent for 9 months, then payments of $2, 700 per month for the next 51 months. The lease cannot be broken, and the store's WACC is 12% (or 1% per month)
a. Should the new lease be accepted? ____
b. If the store owner decided to bargain with the mall's owner over the new lease payment, what new lease payment would make the store owner indifferent between the new and the old leases? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations. $ _____
c. The store owner is not sure of the 12% WACC - it could be higher or lower. At what nominal WACC would the store owner be indifferent between the two leases? Do not round your intermediate calculations. ____ %

A major reason why it is difficult to lower the barriers to free trade is A. the loss of jobs without any gain of jobs from free
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

B) the uneven distribution of gains and losses from free trade.

Explanation:

One of the most important reasons why governments impose trade barriers is to protect domestic jobs (and domestic industries). We are part of a society (country), and society's most important component is people, not money. Generally the economic gains of free trade are larger than the economic losses, but the economic losses hurt the most.

Imagine if no trade barriers actually existed, how many millions of jobs would be lost in the US. Trade barriers are nothing new, the current president didn't invent them. He just incinerated them.

How does a leader tell the people that 10 or 20 million must lose their jobs and probably will not be able to find any similar jobs in the future just because the rest of society will benefit from cheaper products. The lives of 20 million households (50-80 million people) would be destroyed, while 280 million people would benefit.

The amount of harm done to the people that lose their jobs is much greater than any individual benefit.

A free enterprise system provides individuals the opportunity to make their own economic decisions, without restrictions from th
ozzi

Explanation:

The free enterprise system is one influenced by the market, which will determine all economic variables, such as price, products and services, and is a system independent of government control to function.

Therefore, it is correct to state that in a free enterprise system, the offer and demand of the consumer for a product or service that will be the determinant of the success or failure of an organization.

As an example of an entrepreneur, we can mention Steve Jobs, who created one of the largest technology companies in the world, Apple. The free enterprise system was one of the reasons for Apple to succeed in becoming one of the most valued companies in the world, due to the fact that it brought innovative products to the market that became examples of products of value to consumers, which made company to grow and become so successful in the market. If the company operated in a government-controlled market, it would probably have to follow specific rules and restrictions for the production of its products that could limit the company, and its performance could be restricted and not as innovative as the company in the market, which is one of the reasons why it achieved success.

A plant's fixed overhead costs total $500,000 for a year to produce 400,000 widgets, among other items. If machine‐hours are use
maxonik [38]

Answer:

$0.5

Explanation:

A plant's fixed total overhead cost is $500,000 for a year

400,000 widgets are required to be produced for this period

All processes require a 40,000 machine hours and the widgets use 16,000 hours out of the total hours

The first step is to calculate the fixed overhead application rate

= $500,000/40,000

= $12.5 machine-hour

The fixed overhead that is applied to the widgets can be calculated as follows

= $12.5 × 16,000

= $200,000

Therefore, the fixed overhead that is applied to each of the widgets produced can be calculated as follows

= 200,000/400,000

= $0.5

Hence the fixed overhead that is applicable to each widgets is $0.5

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $13 per unit and whose variable expense is $1
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Break-even point in unit sales = 2,300 units

Break-even point in dollar sales = $29,908.97 (Approx)

New break-even point in unit sales = 2,600 units

New break-even point in dollar sales = $33,810.14 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Selling price = $13 per unit

Variable expense = $11 per unit

Fixed expense = $4,600

Computation:

Break-even point in unit sales = Fixed expense / [Selling price - Variable expense]

Break-even point in unit sales = 4,600 [13-11]

Break-even point in unit sales = 2,300 units

Contribution margin = [(13-11)] / 13 = 15.38%

Break-even point in dollar sales =  Fixed expense / Contribution margin

Break-even point in dollar sales = $4,600 / 15.38%

Break-even point in dollar sales = $29,908.97 (Approx)

New break-even point in unit sales = [4,600+600][13-11]

New break-even point in unit sales = 2,600 units

New break-even point in dollar sales =  Fixed expense / Contribution margin

New break-even point in dollar sales = $5,200 / 15.38%

New break-even point in dollar sales = $33,810.14 (Approx)
