Joe's income is $300. He can buy 2 goods – Food and Shelter. a. (5 points) Write the budget constraint and draw the budget line

GaryK [48]

The budget constrain is how much of each good can Joe's buy and it's given by:

Income = P_f * Q_f +P_s * Q_s

P_f = Price_of_Food

Q_f = Quantity_of_Food

P_s = Price_of_Shelter

Q_s = Quantity_of_Shelter

In case a):

300 = 5*Q_f(a) + 100*Q_s

in case b):

300 = 10*Q_f(b) + 100*Q_s

To draw each line, you can make a graphic in which the x axis is Q_s and y axis is Q_f

set Q_f = 0 and solve for Q_s which gives => Q_s = 3 so, in the x axis the line will start in Q_s = 3

the same, and solve for Q_f and it'll give =>

Q_f(a) = 60

Q_f(b) = 30

So, from the start in x axis in Q_s = 3 you draw the line (a) to the y axis Q_f(a) = 60 and you draw the line (b) to the y axis Q_f(b) = 30

To get the oportunity cost you have to divide the cost of what is given up (food) by what is gained (shelter).

Oportunity_Cost_Food(a) = 5/100 = 0.05

Oportunity_Cost_Food(b) = 10/100 = 0.10

As you can see, the oportunity cost of food increase

A firm always has a competitive disadvantage when its return on invested capital is:_________

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

A firm always has a competitive disadvantage when its return on invested capital is:_________

D. below the industry average.

Explanation:

A firm's competitive disadvantage shows when the return on investment is below the industry average. For instance, let us assume that Niposte, Inc. operates in the paper milling industry and that its return on investment of 10% falls below the industry average of 15%, then one can conclude that Niposte, Inc. is not favored in this industry. The cause of such a situation for Niposte, Inc. may be that the ability of its management to turn revenue into profits for stockholders is hampered with excessive costs. This is because the return on investment is a profitability ratio that shows how Niposte, Inc. and its competitors are performing in terms of generating profit from revenue through efficient management of operating costs.

A 4-year project has an annual operating cash flow of $42,000. At the beginning of the project, $6,000 in net working capital wa

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Total cash flow $54,613

Explanation:

The computation of the year 4 cash flow is given below:

Selling price of equipment $6,920

Book value at year 4 end $5,460

Capital gain $1,460

Tax on capital gain at 21% $306.6

So, net cash flow from the sale of equipment

= $6,920 - $307

= $6,613

Now year 4 cash flow is

Annual operating cash flow $42,000

Release of working capital $6,000

Net cash flow form sale of equipment $6,613

Total cash flow $54,613

Why was it sometimes difficult to balance a checking account to a statement?

Juliette [100K]

Because sometimes the check written after the statement closing dates.

Lets say a company do a closing statement on December 26.

A check written between that date until the end of period ( December 26 - December 31), that transaction simply won't appear on the book because the company already closed the statement on December 26

Walker Company prepares monthly budgets. The current budget plans for a September ending merchandise inventory of 27,000 units.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

------- JULY AUGUST. SEPTEMBER

Sales 210,000. 300,000 270,000

Ending. 45,000. 40,500. 27,000

total

required. 255,000. 340,500. 297,000

Beginning (31,500) (45,000) (40,500)

purchase 223,500. 295,500. 256,500

Explanation:

the ending would be next month sales times 15%

July ending

August sales x 15%

300,000 x 15% = 45,000

August Ending

September sales x 15%

270,000 x 15% = 40,500

September Ending

October sales x 15%

180,000 x 15% = 27,000

we will add the sales and the desired ending to get the total required for each month

last step we subtract the beginning inventory for each month, as those units are already there and don't need to purchased.

the ending of one month will be the beginning of the next month.

July ending is August beginning

August ending is September beginning
