Answer:

a. the real interest rate is negative.

Explanation:

Options <em>a. the real interest rate is negative.  b. the nominal interest rate is negative. c. the nominal interest rate is zero.  d. the real interest rate is positive.  e. the real interest rate is equal to zero."</em>

<em />

If the CPI is 170 at the beginning of the year and $181 at the end.  Then, inflation rate between these two years = (181 - 170) /170 = 0.06471 = 6.47%

The given Nominal interest rate = 6%

Thus, Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - inflation rate

Real interest rate = (6 - 6.47)%

Real interest rate = -0.47%

Colt1911 [192]

The goal of any reasonable firm is to optimize its earnings. Providing incentives to the workers is one of the management methods to induce maximum effort from them in order to achieve the objective of the firm.In the present structure of employee settlement where the retail personnel is paid a fixed wage of $20 per hour, there's no reward for the retail sales staff to push more difficult for the sales and increase the profits. There is no penalty on them in case the sales go down and the profits are negatively affected.In the proposed worker compensation structure where each of the retail personnel is paid 1 percent of the shop's daily revenues over and above a fixed wage of $10 per hour, the staff is motivated to work harder to increase the sales and the profits of the firm. Each of the retail staff members then will be motivated by self-interest and devise methods to increase their productivity so that they can maximize their everyday compensation. Hence, by taking care of their self-interest, they will indirectly help in attaining the company's objective of maximizing its daily earnings to $25,000 per shop.

A firm has a net profit/pretax profit ratio of .6, a leverage ratio of 1.5, a pretax profit/EBIT of .7, an asset turnover ratio
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The answer is A.15.12%.

Explanation:

Please find the below for explanation and calculations:

We have EBIT = Pretax profit /0.7 = Net profit / (0.6 x 0.7) = 0.42 x Net Profit

=> Net profit / Sales = Profit margin =  0.42 x EBIT/ Sales = 0.42 x Return-on-sales = 2.52%;

Leverage ratio = Asset/ Equity = 1.5;

Sales / Asset = asset turn over ratio = 4;

Apply the Dupont model we have:

Return on Equity = Leverage ratio x Profit Margin x Leverage ratio = 2.52% x 1.5 x 4 = 15.12%.

Thus, the answer is A. 15.12%.

Shipping costs                                         3,100

Total incremental costs                   $156,892

Incremental net income                    $18,500

b. Moonbeam should accept the special order.  It has the required capacity to deliver the additional toasters.  It will generate an incremental income of $18,500, which is better than nothing.  

Explanation:

Gross profit                     1,775,000

Operating expenses        840,000

Net income                    $935,000

Operating capacity = 75%

Current sales = 350,000

Plant capacity = 466,667 units (350,000/75%)

                                                  Total           Per Unit

Sales (350,000 units)           $4,375,000    $12.50

Variable cost of goods sold = 1,820,000 ($2,600,000 * 70%)
