Answer:
The answer is: Economies of scale
Explanation:
Economies of scale are the diminished cost by companies when production becomes efficient. Companies can achieve economies of scale by increasing production and lowering costs. This happens because fixed costs are spread over a larger number of goods. There are implications in variable costs as well (for example in obtaining discounts by large purchases from suppliers). In general, the larger the scale, the more cost savings.
The cost per unit depends on how much the company produces. Larger companies can produce more by spreading the cost of production over a larger amount of goods. Specialization of labor and more integrated technology boost production volumes. Lower per-unit costs can come from bulk orders from suppliers, larger advertising buys, or lower cost of capital. Spreading internal function (for ex: accounting, information technology, and marketing) costs across more units produced and sold helps to reduce costs.
<u>The sustained increase in demand impacts on producers. Now they produced more units, being able to achieve economies of scale and the benefits previously described. </u>
Answer:
a) actual dollar = $60
b) Constant dollar of the 15th payment = $38.710
Explanation:
Facts from the question:
The Face value of the bond = $1,000
Nominal Interest rate = 12% and it compounded annually
General inflation rate = 6%
The question: Determine the 15th interest payment on the bond.
Step 1: The coupon for the amount of semi annual payment is as follows:
Coupon= (Interest rate/ Number of compounding times in a year) x face value of the bond
= (0.12/2) x 1000
= $60 -= Actual dollar amount
Step 2: Determine the 15th payment and this will represent the middle of the 8th year or (7 1/2) year.
To calculate this=
Constant dollar amount of the 15th interest payment
= Actual dollar amount (above) / (1 + inflation rate)∧n
where n= the number of years = 7.5 years
= $60 / (1 + 0.06) ∧7.5
= $60/1.55
= $38.710
This means the constant dollar amount on that 15th payment = $38.710
Answer:
100 units were sold at $30 per unit
Explanation:
theoretically, in a perfect competition market, the price of a good = marginal revenue = marginal cost. Also, the market sets the price, not the individual firm.
If total revenue = $3,000 and marginal revenue per unit = $30, then we can assume that the sales price of each unit was $30, therefore, they sold $3,000 / $30 = 100 units.
Answer:
$170 million
Explanation:
First we must calculate the implied fair value of goodwill:
fair value of goodwill = Sanchez's fair value - Sanchez's asset valuation = $1,020 million - $900 million = $120 million
impairment loss = recorded goodwill - fair value of goodwill = $290 million - $120 million = $170 million
An impairment loss is a loss generated by the decline of an asset's fair value.
