Answer:

26.3%

Explanation:

To calculate Taggart's expected rate or return (RoR) we must multiply each possible RoR times its relevant weight, and then add all the results:

Taggart Inc. expected rates of return:

50% x 36% RoR = 18% RoR

30% x 10% RoR = 3% RoR

<u>20% x 28% RoR = 5.6% RoR   </u>

Taggart's RoR = 18% + 3% + 5.6% = 26.3%

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 25 million bottles of wine were sold ev
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that before the tax, 25 million wine bottles were sold at price of $6 per bottle and that after the tax, 20 million bottles of wine are sold every month and the consumers pay $8 per bottle which include the tax and producers receive $5 per bottle.

The amount of tax on wine will be the difference between the price consumers pay after the tax and the price producers receive. This will be:

= $8 - $5

= $3 per bottle

The tax burden that falls on the consumers will be difference between price paid after tax and the price which is paid before the tax.

= $8 - $6

= $2 per bottle

The tax burden on the producers will be difference between price received before the tax and price received after the tax.

= $6 - $5

= $1 per bottle

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Hurte-Paroxysm Products, Inc. (HP)

The short-run impact of each pricing strategy is as follows:

                                           Alternative 1                      Alternative 2

                             Reduce Price to $170     Maintain Price of $200

Gross profit                        $2,500,000               $3,200,000

Reduction in Gross Profit   $1,500,000                  $800,000

b. (2) maintain the same dollar price of $200, raise the real price in Brazil (to R$800 from R$680)to compensate for the devaluation, and experience a 20% drop in volume.

c. If HP maintains the same real price and same unit volume, the firm's gross profits will be $2,500,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Exchange rate = R$3.40/US$

Current exports of printers per year to Brazil = 50,000

US unit price of printer in dollars = $200

Brazil unit price of printer in R$ equivalent = R$680 ($200 * R$3.40)

Unit price of printer in R$ when reals is devalued = R$800 ($200 * R$4.00)

The reduced dollar price with devaluation, when real price is maintained = $170 (R$680/R$4.00)

Before Devaluation of Brazil's Real (R$):

Sales volume            50,000

Sales revenue $10,000,000 (50,000 * $200)

Direct costs         6,000,000 (50,000 * $120)

Gross profit       $4,000,000

                              Alternative 1                  Alternative 2

                       Reduce Price to $170     Maintain Price at $200

Sales volume                50,000                      40,000 (50,000 * 80%)

Sales revenue      $8,500,000               $8,000,000 ($200 * 40,000)

Direct costs            6,000,000                  4,800,000 ($120 * 40,000)

Gross profit         $2,500,000                $3,200,000 ($80 * 40,000)

Direct costs = $6m ($120 * 50,000)        = $4.8m ($120 * 40,000)

algol [13]

Answer: Option(a) is correct.

Explanation:

Total Revenue = Units sold × price per unit sold

                        = 11,000 × $75

                        = $825,000

Explicit cost = Units sold × cost per unit

                    = 11,000 × $55

                    = $605,000

Implicit cost = Earning at state university + Entrepreneurial talent + cash bonds at 10% interest

                    = $45000 + $5,000 + ($100,000 × 10%)

                    = $60,000

Economic profits = Total Revenue - (Explicit cost + Implicit cost)

                            = $825,000 - ($605,000 + $60,000)

                            = $825,000 - $665,000

                            = $160,000
