Explanation:

Sales amount                                       $12,000,000

Finance charge 3%*$12 million              ($360,000)

Retention amount 10%*$12 million           ($1,200,000)

Cash upfront                                           $ 10,440,000

The recourse liability is $600,000,which means that additional liability of $600,000 would be incurred by Lacuna Inc, if the total amount from the receivables is not received owing to the fact that the factoring is with recourse.

The loss on transfer of receivables is shown as:

Finance charge                    $360,000

Recourse liability                  $600,000

total loss                                 $960,000

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The accounting cost and the economic cost associated with​ Joe's computer software business is $75,00 and the $165,000 respectively.

Explanation:

The computation of the accounting cost and the economic cost is shown below:

                           = $35000 + $40,000

                           = $75,000

Economic cost = Accounting cost + Salary expense + Rent expenses

                        = $75,000 + $65,000 + $25,000

                        = $165,000

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

An industry is comprised of a large number of small firms.  

Because of losses, many firms have left the industry.  

This will cause the industry supply to decline.  

The industry supply curve will move to the left.  

The new supply curve will intersect the demand curve at a higher point.

This leftward shift in the supply curve will cause the equilibrium price to increase and equilibrium quantity to decline.
