Answer:
II) "As the cost of producing eggs rises, the supply of eggs will tend to fall."
Explanation:
The term supply refers to the quantities of a product that firms are willing to sell at the market price at a specific price or at different prices. Several factors, such as demand, cost of inputs, competition, among others, may influence the supply. As per the law of supply, everything else remaining constant, suppliers will be to sell more at higher prices.
Statement 11 describes supply better that statement 1. In statement 11, an increase in the cost of producing eggs decreases the profit realized from the sale of eggs. When the production of eggs is costly, suppliers may not have the resources to produce them in bulk. The statement recognizes that supply is influenced by demand. An increase in cost will force the suppliers to raise prices, which may lead to reduced demand.
Statement 1 asserts that an increase in price will lead to an increase in price. If the increase in price is a result of an increase in the cost of inputs, then suppliers may not increase the supply. An increase in price, followed by an increase in supply, will result in a market surplus. An increase in prices causes a decline in demand.
First we calculate the return on equity(ROE) based on the Du-pont equation
ROE = Net profit margin * Total asset turnover * equity multiplier
Total asset turnover = 1/capital intensity =1/1.08
Equity multiplier = 1+ debt to equity = 1+ 0.54 = 1.54
net profit margin = 6.2% = 0.062
ROE = 0.062*1/1.08*1.54 = 0.0884 = 8.84%
Sustainable growth rate = ROE*(1- dividend payout)
Sustainable growth rate = 0.0884*(1-0.4)
Sustainable growth rate= 0.053 = 5.3%
Sustainable growth rate = 5.30%
Answer:
B) –2%
Explanation:
The total return on an investment is calculated by,
Total Return = Capital gains ÷ Initial Investment x 100
First we will have to calculate capital gains of his investment,
He got 600 in dividends and 4,300 after selling the stock against the initial investment of $5,000.
So capital gains,
= 600 + 4,300 - 5,000
= -100
Total Return would be,
= -100 / 5,000 x 100
= -2% is the total return on his investment.
The Purchase function should be periodically monitored, so the given statement is false.
Option B.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Purchasing, one of the strategic functions of a firm is the process of acquiring the inventories or raw materials that a company requires to operate on or manufacture the final products. Since it has direct impact on the cost of the production, the purchase that every concern makes has to be rational.
When it comes to monitoring, there must be a periodical measurement of the purchasing function or performance as this plays a significant role in the supply chain of the whole production process.
Answer:
By the end of Year 3, the entire $2,500,000 of revenues should be recognized.
I don´t have enough information about cost incurred p/year
Explanation:
In this contract, revenue is recognized over time based on progress toward completion. The progress toward completion is measured using the input method based on costs incurred.
The construction was completed in Year 3.
By the end of Year 3, the entire $2,500,000 of revenues should be recognized.
