The answers to the question are "shift outward" and "growth" based on the blank sentence above. The Production Planning Curve is a graph which shows the effectivity of a production process of a country. An output increase indicates an increasing of the effectivity of a production process of a country and this effectivity is a result of a growth.
Answer:
Water freight is a very important method of transportation and is the second cheapest (railroad is the cheapest). Huge volumes can be shipped at relatively low prices which is extremely important for raw materials and commodities.
The problem with water freight is that it is relatively slow though. Another problem that water freight faces is that it is cheap for medium and long distances, but uneconomical for short ones.
A great impediment for the technological progress of water freight is that most ports are obsolete and have not been updated in many years. Updating them is very expensive and many of them are public ports which doesn't help either.
Most new carrier ships (which are very high tech) are probably too big to fit into most US ports, so even if a carrier company invests huge amounts of money in them, where will they them? Technological progress must start with the ports, then water carriers should improve.
Another problem is that regulation is very loose in the US, especially regarding maritime ports.
Answer:
9.73%
Explanation:
the market value of equity = 10,000,000 stocks x $15 = $150,000,000
the market value of debt = 40,000 bonds x $1,150 = $46,000,000
total = $196,000,000
weight of equity = 0.7653
weight of debt = 0.2347
Re = 3.5% + [1.35 x (0.115 - 0.055)] = 0.035 + 0.081 = 0.116
cost of debt = ytm = {36.25 + [(1,000 - 1,150)/40]} / [(1,000 + 1,150)/2] = (36.25 - 3.75) / 1,075 = 32.50 / 1,075 = 0.03023 x 2 = 0.0605
after tax cost of debt = 0.0605 x (1 - 40%) = 0.0363
WACC = (0.116 x 0.7653) + (0.0363 x 0.2347) = 0.09729 = 9.73%
Jade resides in the principle stage of cognitive moral development. This stage enables the conscience of the person kicks in and it involves the attitude of respect and trust. It is seen in the scenario above where Jade refuses to take on the permanent job because she does not want to ignore the report that she has found about the ill effects of the product that could bring harm to the people who will buy the products if it has been launched. She lets her conscience kick in and shows respect and trust to those people who could be affected because of this product.
Answer:
Allocation rate Machining= $50 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated Machining cost= $4,000,000
Estimated Number of machine hours= 80,000
<u>To calculate the allocation rate for the Machining department, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Allocation rate Machining= total estimated costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Allocation rate Machining= 4,000,000 / 80,000
Allocation rate Machining= $50 per machine hour
