The purpose or objectives of competition policy

Suppose there are only two producers of aircraft in the world, AirCraft in the United States and AirEurope in the European Union

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

1. AirEurope should produce if it wants to maximize its profit.

2. False

Explanation:

New payoffs after subsidy:

Aircraft/ AirEurope Produce Not Produce

Produce -3 , 6 75 , 0

Not Produce 0 , 74 0 , 0

With a $9 million subsidy, regardless of whether Aircraft produces or not, AirEurope should produce if it wants to maximize its profit.

The statement is false (Aircraft would earn a negative payoff if it enters).

Assume you are going to lunch and have a choice of two meals. The first meal would give an increase in marginal utility of 100 w

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

C) Third

Explanation:

The first meal gives you 4 units of utility for every dollar spent (= 100 utility / $25).

The second meal gives you 5 units of utility for every dollar spent (= 10 utility / $2).

The third meal gives you 10 units of utility for every dollar spent (= 50 / $5). We should choose the meal that provides us with the greatest utility per dollar.

etermine the degree of operating leverage for each approach at current sales levels. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.

viktelen [127]

Answer: $1,376,000.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information which is going to assist us in solving this question effectively;

(1). The current approach and automated approach for Contribution Margin Ratio is 25 % and 50 % respectively.

(2). The current approach and automated approach for Break-even point in Sales Dollar is $ 1,248,000 and $ 1,312,000 respectively.

(3). The current approach and automated approach for Degree of Operating Leverage is 4.18 and 5 respectively.

(4). The current and automated approach for Decline in net income for a 10 % decline in sales is 41.8 % and 50 %.

(5). The current and automated approach for level of Sales where net income will be same under both options is $ 1,376,000 and $ 1,376,000 Respectively.

(6). The current approach and automated approach for Margin of Safety Ratio is 24% and 20% respectively.

Note that;

(1). BP = TFC / CMR

Where BP= Break-even point in sales dollar, TFC = Total Fixed Cost and CMR= Contribution Margin Ratio.

(2). MSR = ( ASD - BSD) / ASD × 100.

Where MSR= Margin of Safety Ratio,ASD=Actual Sales dollars, BSD= Break-even Sales dollars , and ASD = Actual Sales dollars.

(3). CMR = CM ÷ Sales × 100.

CMR = Contribution margin ratio, CM =Contribution Margin.

(4). DOL = CM ÷ NI.

Where DOL = Degree of Operating Leverage, CM = Contribution Margin and NI = Net Income.

Decline in net income for a 10 % decline in sales = OL x 10.

Where OL => Operating Leverage.

We then say that V = level of sales.

=> V x 25 % - 312,000 = V x 50 % - 656,000.

=> 0.25 V = 344,000.

V = $ 1,376,000.

Shareholders of mutual funds have all of the following rights EXCEPT: A) the right to vote on the selection of specific securiti

trapecia [35]

Answer:

you do not obtain the right to vote on the selection of specific securities for the portfolio

Explanation:

As a shareholder of a mutual fund you have many rights available such as voting proxies, receiving semiannual reports, and voting rights. Unfortunately, you do not obtain the right to vote on the selection of specific securities for the portfolio. The only individual that can make this decision is the fund manager. This individual is the one that analyzes different securities and chooses the ones that will round out and diversify the mutual fund nicely while at the same time maximizing ROI potential.
