Answer:
Havana's 2016 actual return on plan asset is $504 thousand.
Explanation:
Havana's 2016 actual return on plan asset is $504 thousand.
Let actual return be x.
Ending balance of plan assets = Beginning balance of plan asset + Actual return + Cash Contributions - Retiree benefits
$6,336 = $5,760 + x + $696 - $624
x = $6,336 - $5,760 - $696 + $624
x= $504 (answer).
Answer:
Monthly rent of $345 would maximize revenue
Explanation:
Revenue = Price * Quantity
Quantity depends on price. We need to work out the relationship between price and quantity (that is, the demand function)
When the rent is $420, quantity demanded is 90 units:
When P = 420 we have Q = 90
Let x be the change in price. For every 3 dollar increase (decrease) in price demanded quantity will decrease (increase) 1 unit:
P = 420 + x (a) we have Q = 90 - x/3 (b)
To find the relationship between P and Q we seek to eliminate x.
Multiply both sides of (b) with 3 we have: 3Q = 270 - x (b')
From (a) and (b') we have: P + 3Q = 420 + x + 270 - x
=> P = 690 - 3Q
Revenue R = P * Q = (690 - 3Q) * Q = 690Q - 3Q^2
To find maximum set derivative of R to 0:
dR = 690 - 6Q = 0
=> Q = 690/6 = 115
To lease 115 the price should be P = 690 - 3Q = 690 - 3*115 = 345
Answer:
a. People respond to incentives.
Explanation:
Assuming the state of Wyoming passes a law that increases the tax on cigarettes thereby causing smokers who live in Wyoming to start purchasing their cigarettes in surrounding states.
Consequently, an increase in the tax on cigarettes altered the behavior of the smokers in Wyoming, it made them to purchase from neighboring states.
This illustrates or reflect the fact that people respond to incentives.
Answer:
B) $3,000
Explanation:
Since Laura acquired this property (stocks) by gift, her basis for loss will be $3,000 which is equal to the fair market value at the time she received the gift. If she had made a gain with this transaction, her basis for gain would have been the $4,000 of her father's basis.
