Answer:
The Kmart was held by the court not liable because David assumed the risks of sledding.
Explanation:
Negligent actions are those actions that come under the rubric of tort actions. To prove negligent actions against a person or a company, the plaintiff is required to prove four things in court– duty, breach, causation, and damages.
In the given case, the court will not be held Kmart liable because David (the consumer) was aware of the risks involved in the sledding. Therefore, the case of negligent actions is not applicable for Kmart.
Answer:
SHEILA
Explanation:
A person has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people.
Sheila's opportunity cost in producing berries = 10/40 = 0.25
Jim's opportunity cost in producing berries = 8/24 = 0.33
Sheila has a lower opportunity cost in the production of berries and thus has a comparative advantage in the production of berries
Answer: 15000; 3750
Explanation:
From the question,
Q = 660 – 12P
MC = 5
The consumer surplus in a perfectly competitive market will be:
P = MC
Therefore, P = 5
Q = 660 - 12P = 660 - 12(5) = 660 - 60 = 600
Consumer surplus = 1/2 × (55 - 5) (600)
= 1/2 × 50 × 600
= 15,000
For monopoly, MR = MC
Total Revenue = P × Q
Since Q= 660 - 12P
P = (660 - Q)/12
TR = P × Q
= (660 - Q)/12 × Q
= (660Q- Q²)/12 × Q
MR = (660 - 2Q)/12
MR = MC
(660 - 2Q)/12 = 5
(660 - 2Q) = 5 × 12
660 - 2Q = 60
2Q = 660 - 60
2Q = 600
Q = 600/2
Q= 300
Since P =(660 - Q)/12
= (660 - 300)/12
= 360/12
= 30
Consumer surplus = 1/2 × (55 - 30) (30)
= 1/2 × 25 × 300
= 3750
Therefore, the answer is 15000; 3750
Answer:
225,000 shares
Explanation:
A company's shares outstanding refers to the total number of shares investors currently own.
Beck Corp. issued 200,000 shares of common stock when it began operations in year 1 and issued an additional 100,000 shares in year 2.
In year 3, Beck purchased 75,000 shares of its common stock and held it in Treasury.
At December 31, year 3, the number of shares of Beck's common stock were outstanding is
200,000 shares in year 1
100,000 shares in year 2
Total Common Stock = 300,000
less: Treasury Stock of 75,000
Outstanding Stock = 225,000 shares
Answer:
The contribution margin ratio can be calculated using either total amounts or per unit amounts.
Explanation:
Contribution margin ratio = 
This can even be done by 
This will calculate contribution as a percentage of Sales, with this margin ratio we get break even sales value, and not the units.
Whenever there is an increase in variable cost it decreases the contribution.
Therefore, correct statement is
The contribution margin ratio can be calculated using either total amounts or per unit amounts.
