Answer:

Desired current asset for current ratio to be 2.5x

=> 2.5*Total current liabilities

=> 2.5*$189,225

=> $473,063

Reduction in equity = Reduction in current assets = Reduction in inventory

= Old Current assets - New current assets

= $1,006,155 - $473,063

= $533,093

New book value of equity = Old book value - Reduction in equity

New book value of equity = $908,280 - $533,093

New book value of equity = $375,188

Change in ROE = ROE now - ROE before

Change in ROE = (Net income / New book value of equity) - (Net income / Old book value of equity)

Change in ROE = (36,000 / 375,188) - (36,000 / 908,280)

Change in ROE = 0.0959519 - 0.0396354

Change in ROE = 0.0563165

Change in ROE = 5.63%

Hence, ROE will increase by 5.63%

Firm's new quick ratio = (Cash + Receivables ) / Current liabilities

Firm's new quick ratio = ($148,770 + $244,035) / $189,225

Firm's new quick ratio = $392,805 / $189,225

Firm's new quick ratio = 2.0758621

Firm's new quick ratio =  2.08

What are five foundations of economics? increasing trade between two countries makes everyone in those countries better off.
geniusboy [140]

The five foundations of trade are:

  • incentives
  • tradeoffs
  • opportunity cost
  • marginal thinking,
  • principle that trade creates value.

<h3>Why do we engage in trade?</h3>

There are five main foundations of trade that are the reason why people engage in trade. One of them is the profit incentive to make money from trade. Another is the tradeoffs that people are forced to make to survive.

Opportunity cost also leads to trade because people give up one thing for another and so may have to sell the thing they gave up to receive the thing they want. There is also the principle which posits that when we trade, value is created. Finally, there is marginal thinking which is thinking along the lines of the benefit of one additional unit.

2. Explain how advertising and sales practices fed consumer demand during the late 1800s. What were the specific tactics used
erik [133]

Answer with its Explanation:

In the 1800s, advertising was done in local newspapers and in a number of magazines. The cost of advertising in newspapers was very high in those days because the only source of communication with the public was newspaper and magazines.

The designing of copying and opting to art was very common in those days which was adopted to attract key customers and placement of the advertisements in a specific place which would result in higher sales was also common to attract customer attention.

The telephone was invented in 1876, but still telemarketing started in 1970s. So the primary source of advertising and sales promotions was either by newspaper and magazines or face to face selling.
