Answer:

Pam and Lenny's Ice Cream Shop

a. The effect of the promotion on operating income for the second week of February is an increase by $350.

b. The promotion should occur.  The shop will make additional operating income of $350 within the second week.  And there will be spillover positive effects during the coming weeks after the promotion.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price per cone of ice cream = $1.60

Variable expenses = $0.35

Contribution = $1.25

Fixed costs per month = $2,200

Additional sales from the promotion = 650 cones

Revenue from additional sales = $1,040.00 ($1.60 * 650)

Variable cost                                     227.50 ($0.35 * 650)

Cost of promotions:

Giveaways                                        297.50 ($0.35 * 850)

Advertising costs                              165.00

Total costs                                      $690.00

Additional income                          $350.00

If the same number of units of good Y must be given up as each successive unit of good X is produced, then the PPF for these two
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

PPF : Downward Sloping Straight Line

Explanation:

PPF is the locus of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.

It is downward sloping : Because of inverse relationship between two goods- if one has to be increased other has to be decreased , because of same resources & technology.

Marginal Opportunity Cost (Slope of PPC): is ratio of a good sacrifised to gain each additional unit of the other good.

∆ Good sacrifised / ∆ Good gained

If this ratio is same i.e constant amount of a good is sacrifised to gain an additional amount of the other one , the slope of PPC is constant & it is a straight line

Eg : Good1    Good2     MOC [∆Good2/∆Good1]

      0               20             _        

      10             10           -10/10 = -1                  (10-20)/(10-0)

       20              0           -10/10 = -1                   (0-10)(/20-10)

So , same (1) good 2 is sacrifised to attain a good 1 each time.

However Generally: MOC is increasing , because of assumption that resources are unequally efficient in various goods production - shifting good from efficient to inefficient increases sacrifise each time. This makes PPC usually concave.

If an investor thinks that a stock's expected return exceeds its required return, the investor should _____.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Buy the stock because it is underpriced and investor will make money in the near future.

Explanation:

Required rate of return is defined as the estimated return am investor wants to gain for taking on a certain amount of risk when investing in securities.

The higher the risk the higher the required rate of return.

If the expected rate of return exceeds the required rate of return then the investor will consider the share underpriced and experiencing supernormal growth.

For example if a stock has required rate of return as 10% and expected rate of return as 15%, it means that the stock will perform above its peer stock in the market and the price will rise in the future.
