<span>asset turnover ratio is the ratio of the value of a company's sales or revenues generated relative to the value of its assets. The Asset Turnover ratio can often be used as an indicator of the efficiency with which a company is deploying its assets in generating revenue. Given that the sales is 60k and the value of the asset is 370k, the ratio is simply the sales / value of assets which is 60/(370-88).</span>

You plan to retire in 19 years. At the point of retirement, you want to be able to withdraw 32,877 at the end of each year forev

xz_007 [3.2K]

Since no any further contributions will be made to the retirement fund, the amount you need today is $172,014.

<h3>Calculation of Present Value and Present Value of a Perpetuity</h3>

The first step is to calculate the present value (PV) of the contribution at the point of retirement in 19 years using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of perpetuity as follows:

PV in 19 years = CF / R ............................................. (1)

Where;

PV in 19 years = Present value (PV) of the contribution at the point of retirement in 19 years = ?

CF = Cash flow or yearly expected withdrawal = $32,877

R = Rate of return after retirement = 5.02%, or 0.0502

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV in 19 years = $32,877 / 0.0502 = $654,920.3187251

The amount you need today can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n ……………………………………………. (2)

Where;

PV = Present value or the amount you need today = ?

FV = Future value or PV in 19 years = $654,920.3187251

r = rate of return prior to retirement = 7.29%, or 0.0729

n = number of years = 19

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

PV = $654,920.3187251 / (1 + 0.0729)^19 = $654,920.3187251 / 3.80737505803714 = $172,013.607470218

Rounding to the nearest dollar, we have:

PV = $172,014

Therefore, the amount you need today is $172,014.

Eric has plans to go to a play and already has a $50 nonrefundable, nonexchangeable, and nontransferable ticket. Now Ginny, whom

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Correctly ignored a sunk cost.

Explanation:

In economics a sunk cost is one that an individual has already paid for and cannot recover. For example when payment is made for rent it is no longer recoverable.

In this instance Eric has already bought a $50 ticket that is nonrefundable, nonexchangeable, and nontransferable. This is a sunk cost.

Eric wants to go to the concert with Ginny who he wanted to date for a long time.

He will correctly ignore the sunk cost of going to the play because any more time spent on the play will not help recover the $50 already spent.

The demand for the services of trish's computer services has increased. trish employs several workers who diagnose and fix clien

MArishka [77]

Answer:

1) what will happen to the mrp and wages of trish's workers?

the marginal revenue product (MRP) is defined as the additional revenue generated by employing one extra unit of labor. In this case, the MRP will exceed the wages paid by Trish, generating economic rent or above average returns.

2) the wage rate is w2; the old wage was w1. what is the economic rent trish's workers now earn?

If Trish raises her employees' wages due to the increasing in price, then her employees will be earning economic rent = w2 - w1. This means that their wage is higher than the usual wage that would be paid for doing that job.

3) define economic rent.

Economic rent is defined as the additional profit generated by a business that exceeds its opportunity cost.

Economic rent = marginal revenue product – opportunity cost

The opportunity cost is the extra costs or benefits lost from choosing one activity or investment over another alternative.

In this case, Trish is earning an economic rent with her business because her earnings are higher than any other earnings that she could make by investing in something else.

4) what factors affect the elasticity of supply of the labor supply curve that trish faces as she hires workers?

The elasticity of the labor supply curve shows how much a 1% change in wages affect the quantity of labor supply (in % also).

In this case, the factors affecting the labor supply would be the substitution effect and the income effect of a rise in wages. Both factors are opposite, and in this case I would believe that the substitution effect would be greater.

The substitution effect means that workers will start working more because they are paid a higher wage. they will be willing to give up leisure time in order to work more hours and earn a higher salary.
The income effect means that workers will start working less hours due to higher wages per hour.
