Answer:

b) one firm has the exclusive ownership of a necessary resource

Explanation:

A monopoly is a situation where a single supplier of a commodity.

This gives the supplier the benefit of fixing a price that maximises profit for them. Consumers have no alternative so they pay the high price for the commodity.

There is no substitute good so there is no competition from other firms. Price is usually set at a high level so that the monopoly enjoys profit high above its marginal cost.

Monopolies exist because one firm has the exclusive ownership of a necessary resource not available to other firms.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

1 year rate 2 year from now = 12%  (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

1-year rate = 8%

2-year rate = 9%

3-year rate = 10%

Computation:

According to Pure Expectations Hypothesis,

(1 + 3-year rate)³ = (1 + 2-year rate)² (1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)

(1.10)³ = (1 + 1.09)²(1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)

1.331 = 1.1881 (1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)

(1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)  = 1.12

1 year rate 2 year from now = 0.12

1 year rate 2 year from now = 12%  (Approx)

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The answer is a. The "invention" sought to be patented is actually a living creature.

As a result of having increased from a price of $55 to $85, we can say that the stock value increased by<u> 54.55%</u>

The stock was valued at $55 then it increased to $85. First thing to do is to check how much it increased by in dollar terms:

<em>= New price - old price </em>

= 85 - 55

= $30

In percentage terms, this is:

<em>= Increase/ Old price x 100%</em>

= 30 / 55 x 100%

= 54.55%

In conclusion, the stock value increased by 54.55%

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Operating Income = $100,000

Explanation:

1 a. What is the current annual operating income?  

Revenue - 5,000,000* $0.5 = 2,500,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,000,000*$0.3 = 1,500,000

Contribution = 1,000,000 (margin = 1m/2.5m = 40%)

Less: Fixed Costs ....$900.000

Operating Income = $100,000

b. What is the present break even point in revenues?  

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 900,000/0.4 = $2,250,000

2. A $0.04 per unit increase in variable costs  

Revenue - 5,000,000* $0.5 = 2,500,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,000,000*$0.34 = 1,700,000

Contribution = 800,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$900.000

Operating Income = ($100,000)

3. A 10% increase in fixed costs and a 10% increase in units sold  

Revenue - 5,500,000* $0.5 = 2,750,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,500,000*$0.3 = 1,650,000

Contribution = 1,100,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$990.000

Operating Income = $110,000

4. A 20% decrease in fixed costs, a 20% decrease in selling price, a 10% decrease in variable cost per unit and a 40% increase inunits sold.  

Revenue - 7,000,000* $0.4 = 2,800,000

Less: Variable Costs - 7,000,000*$0.27 = 1,890,000

Contribution = 910,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$720.000

Operating Income = $190,000

5.Compute the new breakeven point in units for each of the following changes:   A 10% increase in fixed costs  

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 810,000/0.4 = $2,025,000

6. A 10% increase in selling price and a $20,000 increase in fixed costs

Revised Contribution Margin = 0.55 - 0.3 = 0.25; 0.25/0.55 = 0.4545

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 1080,000/0.4545 = $2,376,238
