When the government or corporate issues bonds, they promise to pay the principal amount when the bond matures. Maturity ranges from 5 to 30 years. The bond issuer also commits to pay interest on regular intervals until the bonds mature. The interest to be paid is based on the coupon rate or interest rate as specified by the bond.

Brand managers know that increasing promotional budgets eventually result in diminishing returns. The first one million dollars

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

78%

Explanation:

Able has an awareness level of 78%.

Next year, it will lose a third of its awareness level.

78% * 1/3 = 26%

78% - 26% = 52%

So the base awareness level of able for next year will be 52%, however, even if the company reduced the promotion budget, it still has 1 million dollars to invest, and the question is telling us that 1 million in promotion investment results in a 26% increase in awareness, therefore

52% + 26% = 78%

Thus, after investing the 1 million dollars, Able's awareness level next year will be the same as the current year: 78%

Area Before Trade After Trade Change Value

Value Value

Consumer Surplus $4,000 $9,000 $5,000

Producer Surplus $4,000 $1,000 $−3,000

Total Welfare $8,000 $10,000 $2,000

4. The group that gains when the country allows free international trade.

B. consumers

5. The group that loses from free trade in this case is:

D. producers

6. A. net gain

7. The overall value of the gain is $2,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Area Before Trade After Trade Change

Value Value Value

Consumer Surplus $? $? $?

Producer Surplus $? $? $?

Total Welfare $ ? $? $?

Consumer surplus = Total quantity demanded at consumer's price minus equilibrium quantity * equilibrium price

Producer surplus = Total quantity supplied at supplier's price minus equilibrium quantity * equilibrium price

Change value at consumer surplus = $5,000 ($9,000 - $4,000)

Change value at producer surplus = $-3,000 ($1,000 - $4,000)

Total welfare before trade = $8,000 ($4,000 + $4,000)

Total welfare after trade = $10,000 ($9,000 + $1,000)

The net gain from free international trade is the difference between the total welfare value after trade and before trade = $2,000 ($10,000 - $8,000)

Birch Company normally produces and sells 43,000 units of RG-6 each month. RG-6 is a small electrical relay used as a component

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

a)No, the company should not close the plant; it should continue to operate at the reduced level of 28,000 units, because it would lead to a $199320 greater loss over the two-month period than if the company continues to operate. By closing down, the needs of these customers will not be met and they would move to another supplier

b) 9880 units

Explanation:

Contribution margin = selling price - variable cost = $30 - $19 = $11

Contribution margin lost = 14000 units / month * 2 months = 28000 units

Contribution margin lost by the plant closing = 28000 units * $11 = $308000

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost * number of months = $60,000 per month × 2 months = $120,000

Fixed selling cost = fixed selling costs total * 8% = $46000 * 0.08 = $3680

Costs avoided by closing the plant for two months = $120000 + $3680 = $123680

Net disadvantage before start up cost = Contribution margin lost by the plant closing - Costs avoided by closing the plant for two months = $308000 - $123680 = $184320

Start up cost = $15000

Closing plant disadvantage = Net disadvantage before start up cost + Start up cos = $184320 + $15000 = $199320

No, the company should not close the plant; it should continue to operate at the reduced level of 28,000 units, because it would lead to a $199320 greater loss over the two-month period than if the company continues to operate. By closing down the 28000 units produced would be lost, the needs of these customers will not be met and they would move to another supplier

b) Costs avoided by closing the plant for two months = $123680

less Start up cost = $15000

Net avoidable cost = $123680 - $15000 = $108680

Net avoidable cost/ Contribution margin per unit = $108680 / $11 = 9880 units
