Why do economists generally favor deregulation of most industries?

1 answer:

8 0

Sorry this description is a bit confusing but i couldn't really think of a way to phrase it properly :)

most economists believe that deregulation has the potential to be helpful because the fact that things aren't regulated by the government increases competition in people selling the same wares, which normally ends up lowering the price of that specific good and/or improving the quality of the good drastically (which means more people will be buying, it whatever it may be, which is good for the economy)

Answer:

Explanation:

Ginger incorporation has a market valu of equity of $710,000

The debt is $227,800

Cash is $45,600

EBIT is $102,800

The first step is to find the enterprise value

= market capitalization + debt -cash

= $710,000 +$227,800 - $45,600

= $937,800-$45,600

= $892,200

The EBITDA can be calculated as follows

= EBIT + depreciation and amortization

= $102,800 + $164,600

= $267,400

Therefore the enterprise value-EBITDA can be calculated as follows

= 892,200/267,400

= 3.34 times

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

all are correct A, B and C

Explanation:

The marginal cost hiring another worker and producing a sandwich = $5.50 per sandwich, which is higher than the marginal revenue.

If the selling price per sandwich is $5 and the marginal cost per sandwich is $5.50, the firm will lose $0.50 for every sandwich that it sells.

Therefore the firm would be losing money is they hire an extra worker.

In order to maximize the profit, the marginal cost = selling price.

Problem 8-15 Comparing Investment Criteria [LO 1, 3, 4, 6] Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flo

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Payback period (A) is 3.44 years

Payback period (B) is 2.39 years

Explanation:

Cash Flow (A) –$428,000; $42,500; $63,500; $80,500; $543,000

Cash Flow (B) –$41,500; $20,700; $13,000; $20,100; $16,900

The payback period will note consider discounting rate, thus we do manual counting till the cash flow equal to zero (0)

Payback period = Number of Years immediately preceding year of break-even + (investment - cashflow of Years immediately preceding year of break-even)/ cashflow of year break- even

Project A will be break even in Year 4, then

Payback period (A) = 3 years + ($428,000 - ($42,500+$63,500+$80,500))/ $543,000 = 3.44 years

Project B will be break even in Year 3, then

Payback period (B) = 2 years + ($41,500 - ($20,700+$13,000))/$20,100 = 3.44 years = 2.39 years
